Receiving an honorable mention for the 2020

if the way grows darker still, shadowed by
Sorrow's somber wing, with glad defiance in
my throat, I pierce the darkness with a note,
and sing ... no nights are dark, no days are
long, while in my heart there swells a song, and
I can sing." Deeply encouraging, and suitable
for a variety of performance situations.
