Hope dances in her eyes

Twisting

Turning

Searching for the truth

She thinks

A thought

Best left unsaid

Lest her nightmares

Take flight

Changing the nature of her life

Hope holds her tight

When the tears fall

And the wind fades

Hope believes

In the unspoken promises

That live within her eyes

And tell me

If not for hope

Or lack of wanting

Where would the smiles go

In the early morning

For now she sings

To the sky above

Twirling

Twisting

Filled with love
