Spark

Spark
Written by Kelly Ann Wilson

We carry the weight
Of war, hunger, warming and violence.
Of disease, tragedy and hate.

And it leaves us weary.

But then,
We see children chase bubbles.
Humans fly rocket ships out of our atmosphere.
Youth march in the streets for a better tomorrow.
Art that takes our breath away.

And it reignites that little spark.
