Bastet is schooling us on the Ode today at B & Ps Shadorma & Beyond
~
Each night I lay upon my bed
and pray for peace throughout the land
a safe abode for those who fled
and for the dead
Believe the day will bring relief
from drought and famine in the world
from pestilence, disease, and grief
despair unfurled
And in my dreams through night I see
a light to banish all that’s dark
the hope shines out from you and me
we are the spark
We are the peace and hope and light
if we just try to understand
not close our eyes at neighbor’s plight
but lend a hand
I like the hopefulness in this…that second-to-last stanza in particular–‘we are the spark’ π
