Zusman Segalovitch: Like a Miracle

Like A Miracle
by Zusman Segalovitch

And still it is beautiful as a miracle,
This rosy twig of lilac…
Even in our days
of evil, terror and dread.

Even in our street,
when hate swells grand with khutspa..
the little lilac twig stretches out
to you and to me like a miracle…
