Nemesis

Take the person who annoys you and ask God what he sees in their heart. ~ Blake Healy
What do I see when I move past
my irritation, disdain, disgust?
Loneliness, fear, despair,
fatigue, boredom, desolation.
Hopelessness.
What can I do? Ignore my irritation
by remembering the despair,
replace the disdain with empathy,
put myself in God's love before I judge.
Live a life that might mirror hope,
that might light a path.
Love the loneliness away.
