Catching Hope

What are we without Hope?

She sings to us pleasantly
Melodies of dream
She whispers to us sweetly
Driving us to
Our knees

Hope plays instruments
Of flesh and bone
Picking the strings
As time grates on
An ensemble of fish and line

Hope is a huntress
A rabbit ensnared 
Lured by scent
Of blaze orange salvation
A truly deceiving mistress

Is Hope
