Goodbye 2020!

Goodbye, 2020. You brought us awareness, a record drop in carbon emissions: there really were some good things about you, as memorialized in this poem by Rajani Kanth.

L’esprit

The heart can speak

But it sings

a bird  can walk

But it wings

Lightness soareth

Everywhere

Even in this woestruck

World of  Care

The Modern World

Wreaks   Gravitas

More than

Spirit can bear

Let a  lilting  heart

wean it to sing

the   chirruping  bird

learn it to wing

As we men and women

Work and weep

Look, In the seas::

Dolphins love – and leap!
