Turning Point

When everything is lost

we realize there is something

that cannot be lost.

Something we have never seen

or touched,

something we cannot name

but we can feel.

It leads us on.

A resilience comes from somewhere else

and we know we can make it —

because there is no other choice 

than to rebuild and start again.

But it is not from scratch.

Our depths have been challenged

and we will never be the same.

And when a community 

shares this experience

there is no telling

where it will lead.
