Hope

Until Light consumes the

darkness

And Night exists no more

When fallen stars extinguish

And descend into Earth’s core

Until the ocean’s tides roll ’way

Spilled into horizons

When rainbow’s colors bend to

break

Fusing the prism’s spectrums

Until the canyons rise to meet

Where hills and valleys join

Death receives, at last, defeat

True peace gives birth to joy

Until, fulfilled, each word ’twas

spoke,

Echoed eternally

We hold, anchored, within us

hope

Awaiting; Finally
