hope

 
tiny flowers bloom within
babies breath and breathe deeply
light dapples through the shade

sunlit beauty, captivating the shadows
I walk through my sacred gardens
a woman of hope lest I fade
emerging in honesty
surrounded by faith

poppies and sleep
a slumber so great
falling through time
awaken to find I am different

wandering in the skies searching
a taste of sanctuary on the winds
serenading the dawning of my beliefs

sunshine in my smile
I lie down in the cool shallows
in the depths I surrender
