Hope (In Combating Fears) Poem by Sari Mavi

We are indeed facing a global crisis
and the road ahead could remain
rocky for some time to come.

We are not denying that we are
dealing with some dark times, but
we can still find some light to shine
upon the path for ourselves and others —

— Maybe feeling in response to the
COVID-19 pandemic without udgment,
but we also hang on to hope.

Without hope we give up—
we can't go on — we will perish.
