writing in a fit of hopefulness

allofus
it's a funny thing
to pin your hope
on something
or someone.
it is all we can do
and we will do it
time and again.
through the
falling rain
and the
scorching sun,
from here
to eternity.


life sustained from the ground on up.
purify the ground
by scorching it.
bring the harvest
with the rain
soaking the soil.


dinner plans
pure nerves
and anxiety.
unlike so many
recent times
this is for
purely
good reasons.


because of the invisible medium
did we get it right this time around
by pure random chance?
it will be amazing
if that turns out to be the case.
this world has a way of
surprising you in the ways
you least expect when.


lessons
i will learn this time
from everything i have done before.
i was younger then
than now.
one learns much
after being alone
for so long.
