dVerse Poets – Quadrille – Sun – 8th anniversary
Photo: Taken at Atwell two winters ago.
As the sun sets in the western sky
will it rise again tomorrow,
will it shine as it did at Runnymede,
or Philadelphia,
or Paris in 48,
or Mabo in 92,
the light is now clouded
darkness descends,
my heart hopes
yet weighed down.

I don’t know anything about the references or the politics, but I feel the sense of despair with current attitudes and moods.

Runnymede was when the first royal gave democratic power to his subjects in 1215, Philadelphia was the site of the US Declaration of Independence, Paris was the Declaration of Human Rights, Mabo was the Australian High Court’s decision to recognise native title. 🙂 many thanks VJ yes a darker tone.

Yes, hope has a particular quality, that something good will happen irrespective of the presenting circumstance. I have found that to be true. Thank you Grace.
