Hope Remains

Folder: 
2005 - 2006

Rest your head in the thicket

The thorns shall find you comfort

Though the piercing may bleed

The clot will suffocate the loss

Left to it’s own device



Narrow and dry is the path

Ground cracked from drought

Though in the crevasse hope remains hidden

Well aware of its near demise

Its faith is as prevalent as the worlds lack



Where is this recipe spoken?

At the precipice of life, or lack thereof?

Or simply at the water’s marriage to land?

Either place, it’s prodigal

Though neither situation morose



Tidal waves from veins internal

Desperately seeking open flood gates

Life is ravaging the weak

Mangling those along the way

In a world unprepared



Narrow and dry is the path

Ground crack from drought

Though in the crevasse hope remains hidden

Well aware of it’s near demise

It’s faith is as prevalent as the worlds lack



In the midst of the chaos a single sprout emerges

In it’s shadow you shall find your comfort
