Hope, maybe

…what is this?

Is it…

No.

It can’t be.

But…

It looks like…

Good news?

And a feeling, something almost forgotten.

Hope?

Shhhhhhh, no no no no no!

We mustn’t jinx it.

It’s so rare

That if we lose it

I’m afraid we won’t get it back.

Still, this

Strange and 

Unusual feeling?

It’s hope,

And maybe it’ll stick around.

    “When you’re living on your knees you rise up.”

    Some people are on their knees because

    They’re bowing down to him.

    Some people are on their knees because

    They’re hopeless.

     

    Here, take my hand.
