A dewdrop of love
condenses upon
a cold heart…
A spring of hope
suddenly sprouts
in the desert of despair…
In a moment
a man decides
to die
so another
might live….
A father-husband
saves families
while his own
perishes….
A policeman
chooses death
so a terrorist
might live
and tell the tale….
The darkness
of inhumanity
is illuminated with
a fineness of grace
a deathless determination
a fearless compassion…

Thanks…it’s good to be back….the wantonness of violence has shaken me badly….as it has so many of my compatriots….poetry is a streak of light on a grey day….
