Hope at the End of the World #1

—

Hope at the End of the World

Is elusive and evasive

Hiding amidst a slew of chaos,

Bad news, hate, and helplessness

Beaten down, though still flickering

Even if faint and nearly exhausted

Hope at the End of the World

Is real, awaiting your return

To its warm embrace

Hope at the End of the World:

Is offline
Is a dark shower
- Eyes adjusting slowly
Is hot coffee (or tea)
- Before the day’s breaking
- When all is still
- With a blanket and book
Is the morning melding
- Of the chocolately warmth of coffee
- Sipped alongside the thumbed novel
- Whose pages’ scent only
- Furthers the immersion
- All before the cool day’s breaking
- With an errant wind sensing
- You’ve reached the bottom right

Here in this peace

Potential awakens, the soul is fed

And hope rekindled
