An Etheree of Hope

As
cold truth
pierces the
thin skin of hope,
it brings fear for friends,
terror of enemies,
but renewal of bright hope,
as one Truth shines more vividly
than any tiny, diamond-sharp
fact of coldly aging life,
warming the darkest night
spent in shuddered tears
and trembling death
of young hopes,
kindling
peace.
