A pantoum reflecting on the power of an invitation, the love of friends, and a renewed hearing of the spirit’s call to serve when one is healing from the oppressive behaviour of another:

A beautiful invite that mends shattered spirits
as layers of forced burden begin shedding away.
God’s healing touch working, making us whole –
light starts to crack open the oppressor’s doom.

As layers of forced burden begin shedding away,
the love of old friends and new combine.
Light starts to crack open the oppressor’s doom –
the spirit restores the call to new life once more.

The love of old friends and new combine,
we’re freed from chains to serve once again.
The spirit restores the call to new life once more –
the door opens wider to bright times ahead.

We’re freed from chains to serve once again,
God’s healing touch working, making us whole.
The door opens wider to bright times ahead –
a beautiful invite that mends shattered spirits.
