Hope and Imagination

Hope can be a fickle warrior,

Often battered beyond recognition,

Sometimes lingering in the shadows

Waiting for the storm to quell,

Living in a whispered silence,

Waiting for a better fate,

Silent prayers,

Wistful dreams,

Pennies in a wishing well.

 

Just when hope is all but lost to

Shaken faith and circumstance

Comes a hero, unconventional,

To conjoin the frantic dance.

Thoughtful contemplations merge with

Luminous imagination

Fostering a new-found path to

Follow without hesitation.

 

And just like that

Hope is rekindled,

Confidence is born anew.

Choices found from abstract leanings

Lend a different point of view.
