Hope Restored
I wake up today,
Fresh and renewed,
And hope is restored.
No more despair,
Today marks the change,
And hope is restored.
I miss you all,
And none of you lost will be forgotten,
But hope is restored.
There is no next one,
Just life to live,
Because hope is restored.
I have released my demons,
They no longer control me,
My hope is restored.
I lost hope but found
I lost hope
but found it
this morning
when my eyes
opened.
.
Once opened,
hope leaped in
via the door ajar
and the gangly
pup bound upon
me and barked
hope.
.
The winter happened
overnight, but warm
coat and boots, gloves
and scarf made
taking the big pup
out for a stroll. Hope
was in his eyes
and feet as he
spotted his tree.
.
The fire roars
the phone rings
and voices of friends
make hope a sound.
