Hope

Thunder roars overhead.
And the skies open up.
As I toss and turn silently in bed.
All of these horrible thoughts spinning in my head.

Lightning comes barreling towards the ground.
On the ever so distant horizon.
All I can see is your eyes and.
Nothing can change this moment.

Forever forgotten.
Yet always remembered.
Like a rose, so beautiful.
Or like a snake, so unpredictable.

Pretending everything is okay.
Won't necessarily change tomorrow.
Or today.
But it's a start.

If we can envision a change in our hearts.
Who are other people to tell us how to play our cards?
It's our life.
We can build it together.

We can make it through any weather.
And any day.
If we put our mind to it and never give up hope.
We'll find a way.

Life goes on.
Tomorrow's another day.
