Hope is all I have
To get me through the day.
Hope that all the bad
Will disappear like yesterday.
Hope I have the strength
To stand tall and say.
I am good
I am the best
I am all I need
I will leave the rest.

Working hard
But seem stuck in debris
Struggling, attempting
Fighting
To get free.
Is help on the way
Or
Am I by myself
Can I pull it off
Sit back, relax
Harbouring no doubt?
This I hope, I do pray
But as of now
I’m stuck
In
Disaster’s stinking muck.

Hidden beneath
the sacrifice
Deep
in the abyss of darkness
deceit
Sits
a radiance of hope
glimmering
breathing
No words spoke
but
listen
Listen.

Hope is eternal
Hope is strength
Take all good things that come your way
Hoping
Believing in a better day.

On the other side, sliding down
The slippery slope
Laughing, crying I turn round
I hope the way is clear
The path won’t steer me wrong
On the other side, sliding down.

Hope you’re right
Hope not left in the heart of distress.
Maybe tomorrow
I can be laughing in the midst of endless.

Let me write
Something smart and clever
Telling the world
Secrets they didn’t know.
Pour my thoughts out
Convey all the things
I understand
And now know.
Hope they show
Compassion, loving kindness
And a knowledge given me
That til then I didn’t know.

I don’t need to write each day
Nothing says I must, I may.
Not only of heartache do I tell a written tale
With knowing words that ache
As t’s are crossed and hope is there and all I’ve got.
But still, no one, nothing says
I must, I may write these words
Swirling in my head.

You wait and hope
My heart will open
And let you
Back in.
I cannot see how
It will ever be
So much has passed
So much
I can’t let go.
My heart was open
Once to only you
You trudged across
Careless cold.
Now you must
Wait and hope
That is what
You can do.
