Navalny

(In memory of Alexei Navalny)

A light too bright
for a land living in darkness
for the heavy-lidded eyes holding power

A brilliance beyond the imagination
of dull minds and threatened souls
incapable of anything
beyond deception and violence
to hold their place in the world

A beacon of hope
healing the sick at heart
raising the dead-spirited
proclaiming freedom to the captives

Look! Look at the crowds!

Grace and peace to you…
