Song of Hope
Cecil Rajendra

At that hour
when the sun
slinks off
behind hills
and night
- a panther-
crouches
ready to spring
upon our un-
suspecting city. . .

i want to sing
the coiled desires
of this land
the caged dreams
of forgotten men

i want to sing
of all that was
but no longer is
of all that
never was but
could have been

i want to sing
the obsidian
unspelled hopes
of our children
i want to sing
to remind us
never to despair
that every hour
every minute
somewhere on the face
of this earth
it is glorious morning.

Sorry, I've been gone for a long, long time!

But, I might be hanging around more now!
