Hope
By the time you found seventeen,
just a kid with a crazy dream,
a seam that needed stitching
before it could be unpicked.
In the grey of the morning
something spectacular can dawn.
Repairing the spiders damaged web
you said its gets stronger every time,
each line crossed and wrought
a thousand variations on a thought.
A warmth in your stomach
brought by belief in yourself.
A whispered prayer beside a bed
a stolen flicker from sailors candle
enough to burn a hole on to the night,
an eye piece to a brighter place,
peer in and look down on hopes ocean
sail your boat to its golden shore.
And if you find yourself falling in
grasping at fragments of the sky
then land with your feet on the ground
place them firm and turn around
until you find the red center of the sun
where all of our dreams are shared as one.
