Many
weary and despairing
seek coherence, purpose, direction, finality.
While we carry
what we know will renew
outlasting even the swarms and the estuaries of the eons.
And just a heart ties together its end and its beginning
This poem was published in Volume 10, issue 2 (near the bottom of the page) of The Deronda Review, 2024.
