In the darkness of our hearts
love is a dwindling flame,
it seeks the spark
the energy
the life to make us sane


Hope is teasing,
it’s there
it’s gone
uncertain of its destination
it wanders aimlessly on.


Spirit enters the darkness,
gentle and kind.
Divine intervention
nurtures the flame
and it shines.


The heart lights with love
and appears to glow,
hope finds its destination
plants roots
and grows.
