18: ISA Stories "Jessica and Jeff" - poem "Hope"
Music for the interview portion of this episode was found at: http://www.purple-planet.com - Track "Deliberation"
Hope
No one can feel it
Quite like we do
When we go through something hard
No one was hit
The way that we were
When we were caught off guard
Life can throw
Some interesting curves
And change our paths completely
People can throw
Some interesting words
And discourage us very easily
We were
On the face track
Traveling
In the fast lane
And things came to a screeching halt
We were
Making big plans
And doing big things
When pieces didn’t fall together as they ought
But there is hope
I believe
That whoever thinks their life is over
Has only just begun
Because the only way to go is up
When you feel you’ve hit the bottom rung
Confusion
Is a time of understanding
As we unravel what we don’t know
Confinement
Is a time of release
As we find new reasons to grow
Sometimes truth
Is only heard
After we have experienced all the lies
And love
Is only felt
After many tears have fallen from our eyes
So what’s the point?
The point is, that in the end
Life begins
Understanding comes
Confinement ends
Truth is heard
And love is felt
So there Must.Be.Hope.
