Fear Yields To Hope

Fear yields to hope, as a new year beckons
Twenty twenty gone, in contemplation 
With foe invisible, world could not cope
Rich and poor alike, in darkness did grope
Mother Earth has warned: our observation

No doubt fear of death had evoked tension
In time, we ceased to vent reaction
In tranquil silence, love within awoke
Fear yields to hope

As earth healed itself by fumigation
Mindful souls opted for meditation 
Even though jobs were lost and we were broke
Fear became love as head and heart did yoke
Aligning with mother earths suggestion
Fear yields to hope
