Ripples of hope

I made a wish by the sea, that I would never betray thee; I watch the waves washing up the shores, and ripples of hope beating on the door, while the fisherman in the sea hang on to the sides of their boat and suddenly a giant wave cover them, and that was the last time that anyone had seen or heard of them. Look to the stars when hope is gone, look to the stars when the current in the sea is strong and all you have are only your two hands, swim against tides with hope by your side and the wisdom of the sea will protect thee.

I woke up this morning in a rundown building to the sound of barking dogs outside but melody was flowing in my heart on the inside, I crept slowly into my working space, and my adrenaline was spilling all over the place, I had so much to say, but the early morning bugs try to steal my joy away and ripples of hope came along and breath fresh into my lungs. Morning suddenly comes alive and traffic start flowing down the street and ripples of hope settled my heartbeat. A burst of energy engulfs me and I feel myself entering into a higher dimension and elements in the skies surrounds me and ripples of hope covers me.

Come with me to town and let me show you where destiny is bound, let’s go to the marketplace, the shopping center, the mall and the gym, walk with courage in your hands, ripples of hope will sooth your sorrows and give you a bright smile.

Pour some water on top of your head and pull yourself out of that comfortable bed, come and have brunch with me, and we will go shopping by the sea, meet me at the sushi bar, we will have something light, before you board the flight. We have important matters to discuss so adjust your schedule so that you don’t have to shout when we walk about. Ripples of hope have covered you; ripples of hope will see you through.
