A SIGN OF HOPE

Sometimes hope
is the morning sun
rising bold
over troubled horizons,
the deep river in the woods
the proof of something good
a place to travel to,
“there is more ahead of you”

but then there are times
where it’s harder to find
and it’s 3 am,
your world spins,
and you’re just breathing,
you’re still breathing. 
for hope is
running wild within you,
running wild within you
after everything you‘ve been through,
the wild horse
in barren fields
hope is still
alive
in you

everyone’s got something to say
to tell you how to be okay
but you know there are no words
for this kind of hurt

so have courage,
beating heart
its okay to fall apart
for the grace that finds and holds you
will never be far.

you are stronger,
you are wiser
than you ever thought
you could be
you’re still breathing,
you’re still breathing
and that means everything
that means everything 
when it’s 3 am
your world spins
you’re just breathing
you’re still breathing

and this
alone
is a sign of hope.
