Heart’s longing

May my heart’s new longing now for peace
rest softly on the life of one in need,
whether one I know best or least.

May gentle waves of pure affection swell—
become a flowing, growing, rolling round 
of grace, enfolding glory face to face.

Let fear or loss and grief, regret, remorse 
dissolve in Soul’s embrace of Her dear ones—
a humble warmth, a healing calm, bestowed—twofold.
