A glimmer of hope
A glimmer of hope is a sap for the soul
It keeps us alive and does make us whole
A glimmer of hope sweeps the earth clean
like a miracle flood that makes our forests gleam
A glimmer of hope in this dark and sad world
brightens the night, opens our minds, keeps us going
till the streets and the squares and the bars and cafés
are crowded again and are done with blasé
A glimmer of hope, the gravity that binds
bodies in the sky, is and shall be, always,
inextricable from our unfailing love
as the fox is from the tree in the forest of life.
