    Poem: “For Love in a Time of Conflict” by John O’Donohue
    When the gentleness between us hardens
    And we fall out of our belonging with each other,
    May the depths we have reached hold us still.
    When no true word can be said, or heard,
    And we mirror each other in the script of hurt,
    When even the silence has become raw and torn,
    May we hear again an echo of our first music.
    When the weave of affection starts to unravel
    And anger begins to sear the ground between us,
    Before this weather of grief invites
    The black seed of bitterness to find root,
    May our souls come to kiss.
    Now is the time for one of us to be gracious,
    To allow a kindness beyond thought and hurt,
    Reach out with sure hands
    To take the chalice of our love,
    And carry it carefully through this echoless waste
    Until this winter pilgrimage leads us
    Towards the gateway to spring.
