Hope
The actions of those who are unconscionable,
Many country leaders,
So defile the world
with cruelty, greed, insanity,
Lack of humanity toward living beings,
I fear that even the wild night winds
Cannot cleanse
This dark force from the earth.
Yet the sweet scent of morning dawns fresh
Each day I place hurt and anger
in the fire of forgiveness,
open the blossom of my heart
to love.
I offer prayers and songs of praise
For the beauty of the twisting oaks,
The harsh cries of the fox and geese,
My lover’s bright smile.
