Hope is a luminary
she sets alight
frees into the night air
watching the light as it travels
following its path
believing in its brightness
finding the unexpected storm
that blows the flame out
in a single burst
casting her into darkness
leaving her to search
for that flicker
the hope that she had
a purity of faith
that would right her perspective
that would calm her soul
that would make her remember
and believe
that there is good that happens
after all
