Quadrille 117
The Dude Abides

AYE THERE BE HOPE
All you paragraphs, sentences, phrases abide with me.
For within your clauses are the causes you see.
So voiced are the words written
Into silence on pages, paper and eletronic being.
Fitted to sorrow, to joy, to
Pandemic depressions to 
Poems and to hope.
