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.
