Mercy walks
By Jennie Gordon
St. Margaret’s Uniting Church, Mooroolbark
mercy walks
past our preoccupation
and calls
“follow me”
mercy eats away
at our exclusiveness
and shouts
“come in”
mercy senses
suffering’s touch
and sighs
“take heart”
mercy reaches
into death
and silently
holds us by the hand
until we stand
