Poem: This Autumn Day

There is Love
This Autumn Day
Though sweltering in 
Desert heat
And the knowledge
Of fires and the 
Burning political unrest
In far away places
There is Love
Knowing that though
Hearts burn with
Unrequited desire, and
Souls burn for freedom
While children sink
Below the depths, still
In the light of Faith
There is Hope
In the warmth of Hope
There is Love
Always
At the tips of our fingers
In the corners of our hearts
In the shadows of tears
Though sweltering in
Desert heat
This Autumn day
There is Love
