Shed the Veil from Our Eyes

Ave Maria
Please, please, please

gift us with peace
for just one moment

to experience,
all of us,
one shared moment
of exquisite peace
suspended above our
longings and struggles
and pain

just one moment

so we can know,
really know,
there is more

there is so much more

and, so that we can see
finally,
that infinity,
the compassion
the peace that passes understanding
the love
the light

is in us
of us

is us

show us our grace
our understanding
our ability to love
completely, without restriction

please, please, please

help us to remember
