We Help
by Nancy B. Ging

 

        We help
        from different places
        a variety of spaces
        deep inside ourselves
        with motives many
        mixed
        some innocent
        and pure
        some convoluted
        coming from a need for drama
        a distraction from our pain
        by falling into traumas of another
        to lift the focus from our own malaise
        motives shift from stages
        phases of our lives
        so often gratitude inspires our actions
        repaying the Divine for intervention
        at those times we’ve been dejected
        disconnected
        finally resurrected
        through a rescue by a friend
        then again we’ve found our center
        sometimes in helping
        we are seeking
        quite unconsciously
        to balance
        those bad places
        deep and dark within
        yet always there’s a spark
        of Light involved
        with any kind of service
        lifting pain of friend or foe
        lifts us as in those moments
        we take on an angel glowing fragrance
        as agents of the God we’re born to be
        whatever human else goes on
        with you and me.
