Hope…

Hope…

Hope is a funny thing
we can't feel it
or touch it
but in the darkest of times
we hold on to it
as tight as we can

even though
it makes no sound
we can hear it
in the laugh of a child
see it
in the eyes of a mother

it has
an ability
uniquely all its own
where thoughts
become real
and dreams take flight

escaping the constraints
relied on
by the mind
fueling the desires
born from
your ambition

igniting the imagination
while inspiring
our true self
sometimes trivialized
by the ego
our human foolish pride

it infuses our lives
with the belief
of something more
lighting the path
with each
and every breath

with the courage of
an open heart
it relinquishes itself
to the whims
of all those
who are willing

only to return
with the
strength of a lion
nurturing the wishes
that are just
outside our grasp

and even when
all seems lost
it remains by our side
it's hard to imagine
a world without it
hope...
