…if but one candle…

Let’s celebrate the truth returning
let love’s flame damp down false fear
our human spirit swells with yearning
sweet logic’s voice again we hear

let love’s flame damp down false fear
illuminate at last this dark
sweet logic’s voice again we hear
extinguish now vile hatred’s spark

illuminate at last this dark
this warmth of truth we need to feel
extinguish now vile hatred’s spark
our hungry hearts seek this that’s real

the warmth of truth we need to feel
our human spirit swells with yearning
our hungry hearts seek this that’s real
let’s celebrate the truth returning

Convergence

Convergence, 1952 by Jackson Pollock

when the multi hues
of your vivid life
finally converge

and its fractured palette
at last melds
into a beautiful whole

may its canvas forever hang
in the hearts
of those you’ve loved
