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.
