Audacity


It’s audacious
Hubristic, really
To think these words
A silly spackle of thought
Might, maybe, change things
Dampen a bit of rage
Create a little love
Maybe, just maybe,
My audacity might
Bear fruit
Hope echoes
Within

Thunder Struck 

brilliant arcs 

cross the sky

boisterous clamor 

accompanies

impressive qualities

nature’s domination

reminded 

The deepest victory

Every time we learn
A candle is lit
Against the darkness 

Every time we teach
A Sun is lit
Burning that darkness
