A step back, friendships renewed,
Our conversations before?
My mind recalls not,
But my spirit recognises the bond.
Five days with you,
News relayed, stories recounted,
Our struggles formed into words,
The Spirit's move in our lives we share.
Community, we say we aspire to it,
Do we understand what we ask?
No more idle words or empty postures,
This is the time to be vulnerable,
For in finite time,
Programmes for humerus matter not.
Community, you say you want it,
But what will you give up for it?
Slick masks belying reality,
Moving lips filling uncomfortable silences,
Busy bodies dancing on a string.
What price the spurring of our spirits?
"No, not here, my life in comfort being,
Everyone happy, content in shallowness."
But do you want social existence,
Or life together?
