The joy my dog expresses in her leaps
The sight of butterflies stretching their wings
Or humpback whales emerging from the deeps.
I also trust in more complex examples:
The hard won pleasure of a book well written
A purchase made after a million samples
The self-restraint of not squooshing a kitten.
In all of these I have belief and trust
That they can represent a world renewed;
A world revived, as I insist it must
From where it stands unhappy and subdued.
If these things should not be, then I would grieve
But as they are, I revel and believe.
