Hope arrives

 

 

When ugliness seeps into the paintings on my walls

When anger sweeps coldness across the floor

When the air is stretched to snapping by catapults of hate

When so much is wrong

Hope arrives

with fresh barrels of soothing breezes

lifting the wounded spirit

into the sky of

smiling graces

There to see with fresh eyes

Then to return with deeper understanding

of why love must spill over

and create an uncontainable mess
