Hope

Subtly, the colors fade

As the current of the oceanic waves

Calmly settles as the night moves forward.

Light shimmers on the horizon

Eyes are growing soft

Time is standing still

There she lies, supine on the sand,

Gazing up at the stars,

Motionless and slowly departing 

Into another dimension-

A psychological dimension, a dream...

She asks herself, "What is this place?"

A voice from afar tells her.

"Whatever you want it to be."

Intrigued, she wanders aimlessly

Familiar with her surroundings,

Yet with an unfamiliar lens

She pauses...a new adventure awaits

"Teach me more," she bellows

More discoveries to be found,

Lessons to be learned,

Emotions to be felt...

She sees...

"Shift my eyes further 

From familiar territory 

For there I am not finished

With my journey...not yet,"

She cries with hope.
