A Poem for Our Troubled Times


Applause


That night, under cold
stars
A million hands clapped,

The rhythm of distanced
lives
Coming suddenly together,

A shrunken world
growing
Larger in that moment,

An ovation of hope
flowing
Over a lonely globe,

And, as in a child's
dream
Raising a crop of rainbows.
