Hope

After a catastrophic event, you go through

Waves of despair punctuated by waves of hope too

One moment all news is doom and gloom, the next

Piece of news warms your heart and mind that are vexed

You remind yourself to take it day by day

You know things could have been much worse anyway

Your daily routine you sorely miss

Getting back to that predictability sounds like bliss..

*

At the end of the day hard you try

To find hope anywhere under the sky

To any uplifting news you desperately cling

Every movement towards healing is a positive thing

You realize why when Pandora opened her box of troubles there came

Along with the misery, a fairy with “Hope” as her name…
