Hope and Hopelessness
Another moment with another Spring –
There was nothing left in me.
When I looked up I couldn’t see the light.
When you lose your mind all hope is gone.
But I heard a small voice saying to me –
Don’t lose your peaceful dream –
That voice dressed me well for my vision
Of flying,
Of every bird in the sky
Opening its throat and singing a song of hope
Because hope is the window of the soul
And good people are the curtain
Reflected in the corner of my eyes.
Week to week, my heart follows the clock round,
Standing, humbled, in the Post Office queue,
Many faces oscillating in my eyes,
Deflating all breathing spirit in my veins.
I remain standing in the fragments of my soul,
Mechanical, valued at nothing.
But that bitter moment passes,
Like shadows in moonlight.
Nothing changes unless we learn;
But still there remain those
Who can never cross the border
Between hopelessness and hope.
