Hope Rises

From the ashes of despair

          On a wish

                    A dream

                              A prayer.

Thankful just to be alive,

          Vision quest

                    Renewed

                              Revived,

As the air comes wafting in,

          Scented breezes

                    Gentle friend,

New directions are revealed,

          Untold secrets

                    Unconcealed.

Lift the darkness from my eyes,

Clear the way so hope may rise.
