Entzünden


"Your kingdom come, your will be done..."
I had to pause at becoming aware of the dull murmurs around me,
and the flatness of the bricks borrowing the voices of centuries past.

This is what great things are built of, I thought.
Thousands of people united in their misery
with a deep sense of the same hope
inspired by someone so miserable
that they spent an entire lifetime
creating something that would make this all worth it and sensible.

To the ones who embraced the chaos:
I long to be as brave as you.
