Next To Nothing

What can the broken
Offer the broken

Can’t offer

Wholeness
A clear path out of pain
Anesthesia

Can offer

Next to nothing
Except company
A witness to the journey

Like a group

Of lost hikers
Wandering through
The cold dark scary woods
With not enough food
No directions home
Able to offer each other
Next to nothing
Only confirmation
That yes it is cold
And dark
And scary
And the hunger is real

Next to nothing

An offering
That might not mean much
To the unbroken

Next to nothing

An offering
That might just mean everything
To the broken
