Here is a poem I wrote this AM.

There was a time when
I could not see the beauty in your heart.

I labeled you many things
that could never describe who you truly are.

I feared getting what you have
not knowing that what you had is love.

I hid behind a sermon of ideas
and terror filled rhetoric.

I persecuted you with no care
to the attention of your humanity.

I sought to love you & hate your sin,
to justify my own sin for challenging your humanity.

I did all I could do
To keep you at arms lengthen.

By the grace of God
You were brought in to my life.

I am the better for being part of you.
The fear has receded and now peace remains.

I no longer count myself as your judge
But I embrace the honor of being your friend & ally.

I left the elect, the righteous and am part of a nation full of hope.

You have blessed me with healing, acceptance and love.

I have witnessed the turning of our anger in to action.

I have witnessed the turning of our frustration in to compassion.

I have witnessed the turning of our hurt in to peace.

Justice knocks on our doorstep and fills the coffers of our hearts.

Our day is near.
A day when compromise no longer reads as losing.

A day when equal rights are the status quo for all.

A day when the dynamic fearfully wonderfully made creation of divine architecture is gathered in unity, love & peace.

Queer Nation! You are beautiful.
