21 August 2017 The unthinkable was not As unthinkable as I thought What I doubted but turned out What I try not to think about Turned against reality And people who thought they were free Beyond unthinkable now On the brink to think this through how I do in this only way I know to in this lonely way No longer lonely to me No matter what happens to be Myself doing what I do To think the unthinkable through And to write down what I find Write it right for my humankind One to one anotherwise Down but not out up for surprise When up in the sky we see The mystery of history The humans I have in mind My kind of humans being kind Outgrowing this thoughtlessness Finding this meanness meaningless Wondering like I do and Thinking it through who understand What is wrong and what is right In the dark as we look for light To look in the right places Is to see it in our faces We find us in each other As the hope of one another Opening our hearts and eyes Nothing can stop us when we rise In the unthinkable dark I think I see a spark Steven Curtis Lance
