But Hope

A poem for a new year is one we can’t predict, but what’s written shall guide us to tell a braver story

Wildwood Canyon, Burbank CA

A year of bold colors

In this new painting the deep and frightful hues stood out

And the sweet waters and singing leaves unnoticed

If the staring prolonged itself

Some found profound beauty in unattractive foregrounds
