On Gossamer Wings of Hope

Yesterday, I was a Phoenix
with clipped wings;
beset by pessimism,
I couldn't rise alone.
I was buried so deep
under a heap of smothering ash
I found myself gasping for air,
crying out for salvation.
I was swallowed in the abyss
of fatalism, I cried out for you, hope,
then you swooped down and took me up!
Today, just look at us! I'm flying...
so high on your wings miraculously;
we're now soaring across
oceans and towering mountains.
Praise the Lord!
Though brittle your wings,
I feel no fear as I clutch on,
for I have faith in your flight
My freedom is now unfettered.
I'm clutching tightly...
on your gossamer wings
as you float above the clouds.
My freedom is now unfettered.
