A Poem

Hope, Are You There?

Is Your Mic on? Can you Hear Me?

Hope hasn’t lived here in a while, but now I see her crooked smile as she defrosts our hearts in the most brokenness of parts

Hope hadn’t lived here anymore she hadn’t walked through our door but she seems to be staying around this time and for a while in a few lumps of unfolded piles

Hope is there she’s here she’s near she’s dear she’s around the corner soon, she will appear

Maybe we can take her on a little ride by our side: Hope, dear? Are you, there? Can you hear me? Can anyone hear me? Do we have a connection? Is your mic on?

You're breaking up. Is your video on? It’s fuzzy. Hello? Hope… Can anyone hear me?

Oh, okay good… It’s working. We have a connection now. Hi, Hope. How are you? I was hoping we could work together

Maybe do a collaboration ~I Have High Hopes for us.
