To Release Our Differences

There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
--Leonard Cohen

Beyond the usual
Beyond the ordinary
just a rent in the common
way of speaking
We look at each other
and see our own reflection
If we stand on a precipice
we see the same shale
If we skip stones in calm water
concentric circles form
When we pray, the same God
hears our words
