Let Us Make Dreams That Darkness Can't Befall Poem by Mark Heathcote

Let us warm ourselves with kisses and smiles
Offer gentle hugs and words of friendship
Put-down tools of war and in rank and file,
Rejoice in love and newfound comradeship.

Let there be light, brightening basilicas
When this awful disease releases us
Let's urge for guidance hope-ubiquitous
Voiced—singing in reverence beauteous.

Let all this and more transpire let happen.
Life take-on an exquisite new pattern
Let's guide every molecule-and-atom
Love each other with equal distraction.

Let us make dreams that darkness can't befall
Make sunlight our filtering preference!
Make ever-dark black cloud, minuscule-small
Lean against shadows with irreverence.

Ah, all this and more we-can-do if-you
Believe it too if you crawl-from-beneath
The shadowing warts of time just-ensue
A golden era head held high one's wreath.
