Hope
I see the summit
For the earth never did shine
For me,
Living in the leaves
Shaking life’s waters,
Breaking
I see the lines
For the circles never thrilled me,
Here waiting,
Sitting in the shadows,
Always on the brink
Of something
I see the colours
For the grey always stifled me,
Stealing breath
And the art of being
Something other, bigger
Than this
I see the day
For the night always feared me,
Just me,
Walking into soft light
Without the weight
Of expectation.
