EVEN

even

in May; blooming

ixoras a hedge of

pure delight, radiating in

sunshine.


sunshine

has found new joy,

her colours are varied,

but yellow will always draw hope

inward.


inward,

cherished portions -

such pleasantries banish

the dread, wanting to feast 

on fear.


on fear,

put the dumb cap!

of hope, gather feathers

that flight may meander outward,

showing.


showing

how nature glows, 

outside the bounds of man,

in her own peculiar way,

even.

    I especially caught the way we need that folly of hope... how could we not believe it will be better?
