Hope Is Sometimes The Best Of All You've Got (definition poem)



Hope
is an open of sky
with a single star
that sees you
only you.

As It blinks back
you know,
finally,
you've been seen.

When the horizon
pinks
a new sun
will rise
in you.

You will begin
another day.

There will be a gathering
of light
in each step
you take...
then,
a fledgling of wings
as you feel your flung forward
fluttering
then flying free.


I woke up with this in my head.
For me, its significant.
