She does not give up on
People.
She will believe.
She will believe
Until her dying day
That each and every soul
Is beautiful
And
Worthy of love.
Worthy of hope.
She does not give up on
People.
She will believe.
She will believe
Until her dying day
That each and every soul
Is beautiful
And
Worthy of love.
Worthy of hope.
When will you get it
In your mind
Girl?
He leaves you
Behind
Every
Time,
Yet
Still you follow.
Still you follow.
And still they flow,
Your
Hollow
Tears
Of
Hope.
She let loose all of her monsters at once,
As soon as she felt his honest approach.
She let the demons out quickly.
He did not have time to breathe
As they descended upon him.
Her secret hope was that he would be
Terrified
And run away.
That was her secret hope.
The sun has come
And once again
I greet the warmth
With a grateful heart.
Though the rains may cleanse
And the winds create change,
The sun always
Brings
Hope.
Oh what adventures we have shared.
Together.
We have climbed mountains
And sang in sweet unison cheers of victory
As we arrived at the summit.
Together.
We have crawled through muddy,
Murky valleys
And rejoiced at the sight
Of the rising sun
As the morning air filled our lungs with hope.
Together.
We have laughed until we cried
And our bodies and bones have trembled
As sorrow has wracked us to the core.
Together.
We have stood in silence,
Watching the sun kiss the horizon
Goodnight,
All the while
Quietly anticipating the realization of sweet dreams coming alive
In the wake of tomorrow.
Together.
And on each adventure,
Each detour,
Each long dry straightaway,
Every joyous celebration,
Every tiny step forward,
Each slip backwards,
Whether you have been through a portion
Or this whole amazing
Journey
With
Me
Thus far,
I thank you.
I try to see out these windows.
These hazy
Cracked widows.
And my heart leaps
As my eyes catch a glimpse
Of what I think is you.
I sit here and wait
With a heart full of hope.
Sometimes I wander these
Old creaky floors
Opening windows and doors.
Filling this house with fresh air,
Clearing the cobwebs in the corners.
Dreaming and daring.
Anticipating your return.
Imaging you standing there looking at me
Through the hazy,
Cracked
Windows.
My wide awake dreams are wild
And crazy,
Saturated with hope
And color
When they are
Filled with you.
I do not wish to ever go back to
Sleep.
I carried hope around with me
Securely locked away
In a little magic box
Wanting to really believe it was full,
But fearful it might be truly empty.
That hope that once lived inside,
In my world,
You keep your eyes down low
And opinions to yourself.
Don’t you dare start a fight.
In my world,
You keep your heartbeat quiet
And tiptoe around corners
So as not to disturb the false
Serenity.
In my world,
You stay on your knees.
Make yourself as small as possible
And do what does not need asking.
In my world,
You dream in the shadows.
Become the shadows
And hide any shiny hope you treasure
From thieves
Who have none of their own.
