Open up the floodgates of hope,
and need
and along with the
access
to life it brings
comes years of being
left hanging
let down
ignored
abandoned..
hope upon hope
upon hope, left
dashed
smashed
crushed
quenched
drenched
in the dry emptiness
of emptiness itself..
until the resilient
childlike
hopefulness of a little-one
wears down
into despondency
And so it is
the hope of hope
that brings back access
into memories
of when we first
gave up hope
and then (God help us)..
the reasons why.
Beautiful keeper of the gate
push through it all my love..
push through it all,
and as you face your hell
you will begin to see your heaven again.
