HOPE

by c. geeplay

The passionate winds blow among 
the branches on the plains, while the 
river flows among the ravines and 
cliffs. The feisty embrace of the 
moon's shadow  blooms on the horizon, 
moving in leaping steps upon 
the night’s longing swells, 
crusted with the honeyed songs 
of birds flapping their wings to 
the rustle of the river’s waves. 
The hope in the yearning voices 
on the shore refuses to vanish 
into thin air, as the moon shows 
her face, shining quietly in the 
evening sky. The leaps of the 
hunter is uninterrupted by 
the dew that mists the 
plants and thorns of the wild 
shrubs and flowers, and I stand 
there and marvel, as an 
evanescent 
morning 
swoops in.
