Hope by Angela Kosta

 

Meli Di Rocco

HOPE 

Hope is the subtle light that 

darkness challenges. 

It's in the heart, 

even when the world is silent.

It's the whisper in tears, promises 

sprouting rose petals in silence 

It's the breeze facing gentle 

caresses.

Hope is the smile of the eyes

that fears of challenge.

It's the Supernova guiding us 

toward the universe 

It's the outstretched hand 

when the path is unsafe 

It's salvation in the stormy ocean 

of life.
