Hope

szl

She sees it at the corner of my eye

A slight twinkle she can’t help but despise

Yet she shifts accordingly to catch a clear gaze, 

It’s consistent in calling her name.  

An act for the helpless when all’s been tried

Yet she fights it, claiming to not know why.

Hope, as light as a feather, yet it hosts heavy wings

It seems so little, but to bear it takes courage
