"Prayer to Brigid for the Queer Community" by Ever Conwell

 

Brigid

please lend your voice to us 

the queer ones

whom those in power would make

Cowless

for daring to exist.

Ignite our brows with poetry

that we might speak of justness

of rightness

in ways that can’t be brushed aside

or ignored.

Protect us as we fight for ourselves

for our families

for any and all whom those in power would harm.

Please temper us as gently as you can

and heal us in the ways we need it most.

Grant us strength for the battles ahead

that we may live

and thrive

and see true justice done

in your name.
