POETRY

Hope

February 26, 2018

Lately, I’ve been more and more aware of the loss of hope and how the lack of hope colors our view of everything.  I hope there is a way to keep the matches lit

 

hope is like the

burning tip of a match

a tiny glow as an​​ 

ember might be

it is not ​​ the bonfire

blazing with heat

and fierce defiance

of the encroaching

darkness

for hope is easily gone

and when the light is out

there is no reflection

of who we are

or were and there is

no sign left that the​​ 

light will ever return
