A Hint of Spring
Sunday 23 December 2018, by
The spell is broken.
The bewitching wand turns
To wood.
Paralysed slumber
Of years lifts an eyelid
And sees into the dark subterfuge.
There is a hint of spring in December.
A breach in the overcast
Reveals a newborn David,
Firing sure slingshot
Into Goliath’s heart.
Hope seems no longer in vain.
The Republic breathes again.
