I Send the Hopeful Singing

photography by Susa SilvermarieFrom sleep to poems,
an easy slide,
bringing lucidity
to the dream of day,

But heeding deep I have to hear,
along with the morning chorus
from high in the blossoming plum tree,
cries of fear and grief in Gaza.

From here where I sit with my coffee,
safe, and whole, and fed,
I propel the hopeful singing
round our suffering planet.
