Hope is
Dwindling Sparks in a Desert
Where No Trees Will Grow
Hope is
Struggling against the current
even though it is sure to drown me
Hope is
Ringing their nunbers just one more Time
Hope is
Knowing, aware, that somehow you've survived
Knowing that you are alive and Gratitude for that
Hope is
Laughing When She Burns Off The Mole
Cringing at death like a lamb to be sacrificed
Hope is
When the experiment experiments on you
To realize that science isn't a valid reason to torture
Hope is my succulents fighting the ice storm
and the plant that gets no rainwater yet waits for me
Hope is
Exploring the origins of life online at 5:45 AM
Knowing that their scorn is wrong and Learning.
Hope is
Shaking off the bully, the thing destroying you
and walking away into a brand new day because you Can.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen.////
