Hope

Sometimes I'm barely holding on 

To hope

To belief in Your kindness

When I am in the darkness

Of my own making

Or the world's

Or when I come close to bring a light

With an unfinished candlestick

And find it flickers there

And sometimes the mist is kissed away 

By gentle morning's graze

And I can clearly see again

Caught in the tempest

Elements colliding and letting go on you

It can feel as though that's all there is

And how easy it is to be mired in

But if viewed from mountains looking down 

The clouds are but pockets in the sky

The Sun is obscured but always there

Dying to reach out 

To warm all that is below
