Headlines
Hornets buzz with rage,
Pox and banners clash in streets,
Headlines stir the flames.
Lantern
Dream—
a lantern
swaying in the night.
The great dream
floats on whispering winds,
guides us per Aspera,
through paths of starlight
and shadows.
A little song of life
sings soft,
a tender flame
in the dark.
Post 2020 society ached with a deep yearning for stability and dreams of a better future, despite the challenges faced. The pandemic was a period of immense uncertainty, isolation, and loss. It forced many people to reevaluate their priorities and aspirations including collective hopes for societal healing, equality, and justice, dreams that persisted in the midst of the pandemic and the protests of 2020.
Lockdowns and isolation periods provided time for reflection, and many felt the need to maintain inner strength and humanity during dark times.
