Hope Bides its Time

November 12, 2022

and hope bided its time

hidden behind the hate

seemingly disappearing

giving up the space;​​ moving aside

allowing the darkness to have its day

but it would not be smothered​​ and buried;​​ 

no​​ 

hope would not​​ be satisfied​​ 

with extinction

and so​​ hope​​ lit a simple small

candle​​ and everyone​​ 

could see that in darkness

a weak, small candle is​​ 

a most brilliant and

wonderful thing

beckoning us to gather

and light our own​​
