Being a Community of Virtue (Poem)

alternative community
against culture’s flow

distinctives
offensive to distorters
shaping community
ordinary life
extraordinary life
blending each into all
without losing us
learning to dance the interplay

 

community of deeds
truth
in lived flesh
etching channels of habit
in communal character
one to another
another to one
all to all

community of friends
heart yearning for heart
choosing past the distractions
choosing past the brokenness
binding hearts to hearts
in intricate variation
reflecting him in us
