hope -
embracing earth’s root
nurturing life that sows,
animating and living -
and growing beyond
it’s own hold,
with thrift …

hope -
wrapped under espionage,
binding and unfolding -
spreading tentacles,
growing beyond
sustaining grit …

I have seen it there
once more as always
calling my name
sans censure
intoxicating
my vision ….

found him with open arms
when I looked around
standing as always
undemanding
smiling back
awaiting …

hope that sows life ---
life that sowed hope ---
