Day 214: “Speck of Hope”

I saw a speck of hope today

I picked it up

Held it close

I never want to lose that speck

So I’ll dress it up

Give it a name

And tuck it in my pocket

To be my shine on a cloudy day

Day 205: “Lighter”

Weight lifted

I can stretch out my wings,

Tight from lack of use

And fly

Anywhere

Everywhere

And realize

the weight was self-inflicted

But it’s also me who can shrug it off

And emerge

Lighter

Day 164: “Hope That Lasts”

Hope

I saw a glimmer of hope today

It felt freeing

Dangerous

Maybe even reckless

I’d like to follow that feeling

See what’s in store

And hope it never runs out again
