Hope

WRITTEN 5/3/09

She takes a look around
The lights are all closed
The rain's hammering against the windows
Yet she's not afraid,
The storm has always been her friend
Nobody else has ever understood her
To them her life has been nothing but a box filled with secrets
A crest embraced by fog and darkness
Which swarm now the room like a lullaby
Her thoughts now turn into shiny little splinters of glass
And spread around
And vanish behind the keyholes
Her mind goes back
In the time
When her heart and soul
Weren't lightened only by the dim moonlight
But from a thousand stars and a bright sun too
Back at the time when she didn't have to hide behind cloudy glances and melancholic looks
Is that time really that far away?
Leaves
Driven away from the wind
Enter the room
Through the window
The door suddenly opens
The walls are lightened now
Does hope still exist?
A crimson rose
Lying down on the floor
Catches her attention
A drop of water Slowly flowing
From the petals to its leaves
She lifts her head,
The night breeze Coming in
Calms her down
As the light finally reaches her eyes
"Yes",she whispers while smiling
"hope's still here.
And always will be."
