Salvation is here
walking among us,
shadowed and grey,
avoiding the colours
that take us all
into the lair.
Salvation is waiting
among the ruins and
the lives not lived
in perfection
but in survival’s
desperate place.
Salvation is here,
conscious, grieving
breathing, smiling,
a touch away,
not out there in
Plato’s cave.
