Be My Appetite to Hope

dreariness
boredom
listlessness
routine
doldrums
evoke
interest
empathy
excitement
faith
stimulation
challenge
grace
 
emotions and I are acting out
why do you remain
they want to know
hope is coming  
I want to be ready
 
I’ve caused you tears and I’m not sorry
good tears and funny thoughts all our own
all for the cleansing of our souls
the way the old slips away as the new is ushered in  
 
I am saddened though by forgetfulness
of no memory for this or that
please remind me of my courage  
and I will remain devotedly your confidant  
 
we are singular familiars
ghostly shadows walking  
along an enlightened path
alone we must find the other side
before the albatross apprehends us
