Just a little something I want to share

I wrote this the other day, after my serious bout of self doubt. I feel good enough about it that I want to share it with you all.

Hope

Hope

Leads me on.

Her elusive laughter

Echoes through the trees.

Somewhere far ahead

Just around the bend.

Tantalizing, her voice calls

“Follow me.”

“I will lead you to

A wonderful place

Full of light and love.

All that you need is waiting

For you there.

Somewhere far ahead

Just around the bend.”

I try to keep up

Catching her is futile

She moves like the wind.

I am earthbound,

Tripping over roots

Face down in the mud beside the brook.

Across the water

I see her wet footprints

On the rocks.

I rise and follow

Catch a glimpse of wings

Flitting above.

I will not give up

Following my heart

And hope.
