freedom hovers
at the brink of beauty,
at the edge of war.
legions of truth
are shuttered with lies
hammered to default obscurity.
for no one must know
or care
if hope dies.
but freedom is a fragrance
of the morning sun
ripening firm inside –
so many people –
millions! gathering
in the still spring breeze.
truth becomes time
when that fragrance picks speed,
no darkness dare defeat.
