Hope & Its Journey

Hope & Its Journey 

a goal,
fill with hate?
manipulate,
deteriorate,
i speculate –
hate?

too easy,
a simple way to be,
a lackluster mirror –
despising all you see,
do i hate, you? 

never,
i refuse that crime>
<hostility, igniting one’s own death>
hatred, a vile way of living,
spewing emptiness –
i choose

i belong to,
not love; no –
i belong to Peace,
there is a Prince known by that name;
so i am told,
you?

you, have not created any hate within me
it’s too easy, simple
nothing as the complexity of Love,
but i do not speak of Love,
anymore,

no longer does Faith fill my veins,
Hope is a wish in the breeze of geese,
honking to find their home;
a dream of Peace,
Security,
Trustworthiness

i will not abhor,
a single cell of you –
nor, will i forgive until …
is there any need,
forgiveness?

{that is}
must one forgive,
to be set free –
explain forgiveness anyway!
i have set myself free,
from you;
and your odium fused being
[i have chosen]

hatred fades,
forgiveness is swallowed;
captured in the wine skins of Heaven,
and Faith builds into something new,
as Hope leads the way,
Peace spreads wings –
across the mouths of the Broken

<our Confessions; fleets rushing,
across new Dawns,
cargo? reckless Healing,
splashing into the sea,
diving to save souls,
{and our own}
drifting,
sinking,
slowly drowning,
clawing at shimmers of Light,
cascading on the surface –
Hope crashes tidal waves,
revealing, there is Life –
even in the midst of Death>
