The Hand of Hope
August 30, 2010
By holding the hand of hope,
reality turns foggy and is
reconstructed before me.
I look into a mirror and see an aged me.
And she hasn't let go of my hand.
We walk through a familiar place and a wink from temptation doesn't touch me.
For a moment I am outside myself
looking in.
The swollen heart in my chest
expands and is visible in my eyes.
I cradle the contentedness
that has washed my insides
and pray for its permanent residue.
And she hasn't let go of my hand.
