The Power of Hope


The inhalation after the sprint.

The rain after the drought.

The forgiveness after the wrong.

The human capacity to love

and to choose love

and to choose love

and to choose love

amidst despair,

amidst suffering,

amidst pain.

The desperate cling to hope

when nothing else remains.

Hope animates,

colors,

exhilarates,

invigorates,

inspires

mere being.
