LONGING FOR A HAIL MARY

A fine line separates hope and fear 
Fear, not being the absence of hope
but hope taking a sabbatical when you need it near
Thoughts wander off every inch of my convolunted atmosphere
Wandering off in search of a grain of hope
hope that may spark an ounce of cheer
Calm and collective i may appear 
Appearance, just a shade covering the conflictions in here
Standing on the  land of adversity, longing for a hail Mary
light at the end of a tunnel, a beautiful light, a flare of a chandelier.
