HOPE QUEST


Her eyes bleed
As she confronts life’s mountain
Too tired to envision her victory

Her mind races
as thoughts of defeat cross
all of her optimism away

Her heart shakes
as doubts like fountains
sprout over all possibilities hope

Her feet stumble
Under the weights of yesterday
And untouched ground of happiness

And so she seeks
Words Of light and vigor
To spur her on her journey
and off this lost trail
