Hope [Reflections Entry 2005 (?)]

I wonder why I live with hope.

Morning:

the sun rises

Revealing a new day

Light spills out

directing my way.

I begin on journey

The path is straight

the direction is clear

no need to wait.

So I cross the ocean

crisp wind blows

the tranquil water

calms and glows.

I run into a maelstrom

the light disappears

the waters overflow

into gallons of tears.

the peace within

my escape from fear

is a place unseen

for many years.

And I feel the thunder

Rumble deep inside

the wrath of frustration

cannot be forced to hide.

So I touch the rain

pooling in my eyes

pain of sadness

buried in unspoken lies.

Yet I search for the rainbow

After the storm

the vibrant colors

keep me warm.

Because after every dark

There is always light

It may be difficult to find

just wait—it'll be bright.

Night:

under the stars

I watch them shine

At last I realize

this life is mine.

Because each day is a lifetime

I must strive to achieve

And as hard as it is

I must learn to believe.

I have walked down a path

which has shown me how to stand

And after all I have been through

I am finally beginning to understand.

This is the reflection of myself

This is how much I believe--

It's how much I believe in life

It's how much I believe in me.

No wonder why I live with hope…
