Perfectly Right (2013)

For S. G., in response to an observation:
"In a moment everything changed.  The world became friendly."

Everything, suddenly, is perfectly right,
And the glowering world once more is a friend.
Gone is the sorrow, gone is the night:
Everything, suddenly, is perfectly right!

We live in the shadow, but yearn for the light;
We weep and we suffer, but these have their end,
When everything, suddenly, is perfectly right,
And the glowering world once more is a friend.
