A quadrille (44 words) linked to dVerse poets where Kim invites us to walk quietly.
to come alongside
lone hurting person in
whatever hard situation
they find themselves.
one who quietly listens
attentive, undistracted
who accepts, validates
with humble posture.
to sit, stand, wait, walk
with fellow pilgrim on
a difficult path in life
hold up, hold on, hope!

Lynn, your phrase “to sit, stand, wait, walk / with fellow pilgrim” lingers with me—it feels like a quiet benediction.
There’s such strength in the gentleness of this ministry.

Yes, Lynn, the presence of another human being when we need it has healing properties. The coupling of ‘lone’ and ‘hurting’ emphasises that. Quiet listening is like a medicine. I love the ‘hope!’ at the end of your quiet quadrille.
