Marrowstone Retreat
By Jessica Weiss

Hearts, grieve from
Broken promises
Bleed
And stain fingertips
Bleed
And let go

Candles, lit for
Loved ones
Burn
And reverently remember
Burn
And bring home

Hope, reflected through
Eye’s prisms
Dance
And scatter rainbows
Dance
And glitter white

Voices, lifted from
Strength of unity
Sing
And move the sparrows
Sing
And pierce the soul

Branches, twisted together
Form circles
Hang
And catch dreams
Hang
And split the sea

~Jessica volunteered as a Massage
Therapist at the Retreat

Retiro de Marrowstone
Por Jessica Weiss

Los corazones, apenan de
promesas rotas
sangra
y mancha las puntas de los dedos
sangran
y sueltan

Las velas, encendido para los
adorados
queman
y recuerdan reverentemente
Queman
y traen en casa

La esperanza, reflejado por
prismas de ojo
baila
y dispersa arcos iris
baila
y brilla blanco

Las voces, levantado de
la fuerza de la unidad
cantan
y mueven los gorriones
cantan
y perforan el alma

Las ramas, juntos torcidos
forman los círculos
cuelgan
y agarran sueños
Cuelgan
y parten el mar

~ Jessica se ofreció como una Terapeuta de Masaje en el retiro
