"Hope"
Eyes half shut peering toward the sun,
I realize at once, I am alone.
Just my thoughts to be my friend,
Without hope there is no end.
Hope for rescue, hope for food,
Hope for shelter from solitude.
In my gut I feel the fight,
Don’t give up, hope gives me might.
One dusky evening along the shore
A craft appeared speeding full bore.
Thrashing my arms to change my life,
Carrying hope, I walked to their light.
