Hope... I Hope
Jane Elliott
As water runs down a window
I contemplate myself and my place.
In my own skin I feel safe.
In my presence I feel comforted.
In my life and my world
My heart and soul ache.
Try as I might I am electric blue in a sea
Of insipid yellow.
I am the sound of shattering glass
On a porcelain tiled floor.
I walk out side and turn my face
To the cloud filled sky and I feel joy.
I breath in to calm my weary heart.
I let the rain fall on me...
I try to let go of the constant misunderstandings,
Constant misinterpretations.
And in a whispered cry ask,
Will it always be this way.
My reply was the joyful sound of the rain
As it mingled with and hid my tears
And I am left with hope.
I hope.
