Aching To Be Free

Hope rang hollow today It's echo was a moan A lament for wisdom That is now no use After the event That caused so much pain Time With its disdain for rehearsals It marches on Dragging the tears That emotions in turmoil So wantonly create Leaving us with memories We achingly ransack Sorrow It mangles hope With its pitiful backwards stare And its stifling myopia The future has no flavour The mind cannot be at rest Forgiveness can never be achieved There is no release from internal strife Peace It helps hope to heal you It could sets you free It might protect your psyche It may comforts you Peace takes time to bear fruit It never transforms completely It is often all too temporary One day things may be OK Today they are nominally better Yesterday it all was bleak Hope may help us Find what we seek Hope give insight Can be a close friend Forever swaddling Never letting go
