A poem about that hope which we all need

Spring was the time when earth would renew the colours of the bare branches.

She looked out of the window with a new hope. She could see faces hidden behind masks of rainbow colours and the path littered with flowers.

A new colour she could see in her mind. The colour of hope she named it in her journal. The month of March she wanted it to be all about that new colour
