Who Can Stand?
Judith Miller
A poem by Judith Miller
who can stand
against the wrath
of the wronged?
who can bring healing
into dark places?
who can weave
new form
from the finest thread?
only the spirit of making
will brave the places of danger
will look into darkness
wide-eyed
and will not turn away.
only the spirit of making
will gather the strands of being
into new patterns
that are waiting for form.
