A Certain Kind-

a poem...

When we were young and prosperous
we wanted for telling of stories
to persuade us life would remain
good even when it became hard,
In these vicious and chaotic days
we require poets to convince us
that amid horrors and destructions
joy is still a viable enterprise,
When we are tired and in pain
it takes a certain kind of music
to hold any hopeful words together.

Walk in hope-
