building bridges<\/strong><\/h2>\n

when the world strains
\npeoples collide
\nlike tectonic plates
\nand trusted structures break
\nwhile climate hits us
\ntime begs for new standards, norms
\nthat emerge
\nfrom stifled values
\ncalling from the rubble<\/p>\n

time moves on
\nunfolding
\nonly visible in retrospect
\nglancing over sightless shoulders
\nwhat broke, has broken<\/p>\n

yet through cracks in the facades
\na longing song resounds
\na call for standards<\/p>\n

for vessels of becoming
\nfor what never left us
\nthe wish for lasting peace<\/p>\n

such times demand raw courage
\nto sift still vibrant values
\nfrom worn-out norms
\nto weave a bridge
\nthat offers a new future
\nthat frees our hope from dust<\/p>\n

Symbool
\nnever done singing
\nwhen jointly
\nmoving forward is concerned
\nalso in this newborn year
\nbuilding blocks
\ntoward
\ndeeper solidarity<\/p>\n
