building bridges
when the world strains
peoples collide
like tectonic plates
and trusted structures break
while climate hits us
time begs for new standards, norms
that emerge
from stifled values
calling from the rubble
time moves on
unfolding
only visible in retrospect
glancing over sightless shoulders
what broke, has broken
yet through cracks in the facades
a longing song resounds
a call for standards
for vessels of becoming
for what never left us
the wish for lasting peace
such times demand raw courage
to sift still vibrant values
from worn-out norms
to weave a bridge
that offers a new future
that frees our hope from dust
Symbool
never done singing
when jointly
moving forward is concerned
also in this newborn year
building blocks
toward
deeper solidarity
Warm greetings, Tineke, Gaitske, Annajorien and Kim
