A Ray of Hope

Day 5 OctPoWriMo-2017 (Prompt-Finally I Understand )





Finally, 

I understand

why it is difficult
to erase the past.

***

Time,

brings forth 

falling and aching,
remnants of a scarred life.

***

Between, 

the spaces

of life and death,
there is the grounded hope.

***

Believing, 

in timeframe

finds dreams weigh
in the fist of today.

***

Triumph,

   not  always 

when the truth lies,
in the lines of the palms.

  1. Poignant. Loved this not always

    when the truth lies,
    in the lines of the palms.
