Esperance

Pick a Title – Esperance 8-17-23
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Esperance

Like the whisper of a dream
Along the backroads of desire
Unfazed and unaffected by the face of facts
Borning assurance murmurs
In harmony with the Morning Star’s vision
Wispy reveries of intentional surety
And random wishes gather in focus,
Like mismatched puzzle pieces
On a parchment treasure map
Of uncanny knowing.

Misty channels come clear,
On the other side of starlight,
As belief takes flesh
In amity
When brooding doubt sheds dark cloaks,
As the distance between yearning 
And reality closes
Outside time and data veracity.

Remnants of cloud debris scatter
In the fragrance of alluring grace,
And secret hush of unmasked insights,
Outside ticking cloaks and algorithms
Stars come together, 
In constellations of trust,
To bless close-held second sight
Exiling vagaries into oblivion’s abyss
In the laughter of divine serendipity
