Hope

I turn on the television
the newsreader in hectoring tones
recites
        his sorry litany;

Emergency
Catastrophe 
Disaster
Death

so I turn the television off;
notice how loud 
the birdsong is this evening 

and search for 
other words;

Generosity
Gratitude 
Tenderness
Love 

Spring bathes in gold tonight
-and by such light
hope slowly grows
