You Are My Hope

You’re my dreams / dreamt in blessed sleeps / lit in eternal light / 
	that tell me to hope, to hope, to hope.

You’re my yesterday / I worked to transform it / into an enriched today / 
	drawing non-stop from future’s maw.

You’re my touchstone: / I want to transform the world / of filth and dirt / 
	into a mine of gold.

Most of my life / much of my effort / many of my possessions / 
	I do dedicate to you, to you, to you.

I want to belong to you / want you to belong to me / want to walk hand in hand / 
	up the long track to truth.

I see a world in you / happy and tranquil and new / sordid and seamy to few /
	bathed in autumn’s celestial dew.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
