Hope Springs
"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." - Desmond Tutu
Hope Springs
In this strange world,
Every human struggles,
Some big, some small,
But never nothing at all.
-
In your face,
This human race,
Crafted stories,
Made up shots.
-
Best foot forward,
Never a blemish,
Perfect dates,
Oh we are so “soul mates”.
-
Believing the lies,
Easy to do,
Why oh why,
Am I feeling lack?
-
Flashy news,
Designed to divide,
Marking wizards,
Playing your pride.
-
Alas to know,
Underneath it all,
Just people,
Packaged for show.
-
Facades cover,
Realities stickiness,
Often hollow walls,
Sad to discover.
-
Away from the glam,
Real life sham,
Seeking approval,
Searching for truth.
-
Just like you and me,
Until we see,
Mirrors image,
Waiting to be free.
-
The fountainhead,
Flowing from me,
With gratitude and love,
Hope springs.
Heading for woods walk with these thoughts.
