Don’t believe it
A poem about hope
Don’t believe it
In a world too broken
To contain its pain
Don’t believe the lie
That seeps skin deep
Withering all hope
Proclaiming nothing is coming
To save you but you
Don’t believe that pressing ache
That soaks you tired and calmly says
It’s easier to disappear
Than to see another sunrise
We are saved everyday
By a thousand moments
Of blinding beauty
A smile hello that passes too quickly
The blue sky kissed by white clouds
The glitter of sunlight in the trees
And the unexpected kindness from
Random acts of patience
During rush hour’s peak
Take courage. Have faith.
Goodness is everywhere
In the air we breathe.
Fill your tired lungs and believe it.
There are a thousand beautiful gifts
Ready to save us.
Just open your hands and accept it.

I love how words can touch the hardest heart and challenge a closed mind. They are prayers and enchantment. Lament and pain. A way to give form to the immaterial and capture memories before they fade.
