Can You Let Us In? (Revised)

Can you let us in? Are you imprisoned
inside – is there room for our love?

In an unbearable World where do we go? You
never believed benevolence is an extension
of fundamental self – could you see universal
goodness that is there for you too?

Is there a prayer to make on your behalf, what
is your dream, where would you go, what would
you accept as fulfilment? We cannot bring back
loved ones you have lost, only offer you

A new life which begins again, are you strong
enough – what else could there be after death?
Can anyone do for you what you refuse to do
for yourself – can we carry your cross

for a while – if you demand the presence of
those who are gone and reject what you have
left, destroying what is pure and innocent, what
can we say, how can we apply ointment

of love if you refuse it, how do we help mend
your heart if you dislike everything on sight
simply because we are not them – how can
we help, can you let us in?
