Hope's Window

For her, time stood still that day --- Each tick of the clock obsorbed into the sand to be carried away by waves of sorrow. Gone were the vibrant colors which enriched her being replaced by the greys of lost tomorrows Her window to the heavens remained in her sight a sliver of hope in her darkest night Her feet soon found perch on pains rocky shore as grace lit her path with healing moonlight

Hope and faith are what we have to quell our fears just like a salve. We live our lives in solemn grace when hearts are heavy and tears stain the face. The sun came out to warm the day. And let us know we'll find our way.

Hope is eternal, yet seems further out of sight. Lifes only consulation is it's distant peaceful light. To let us know tomorrow's there to bring us home at last. There is no hope in yesterday, just memories that passed.
