Hope

By Asa Montreaux 

Being with imaginings that are beautiful 

Again

Like a child, myself, wholly as I was, 

Again

A newly birthed hope, my spirit would be renewed

Depression haunts us into the corners of our psyche 

And obliterates our confidence.

I would know.

And I have greater ability now and with that, 

Came greater responsibility.

A new challenge. Not insurmountable, navigable,

Though daunting, from the beginning. 

But from the end, like an explorer finding instead the elixir of life...

Hope, impossibly renewed.

Nevertheless, renewed.
