That Day Called Hope

Meandering through the cloud

that occupies my mind

looking for that day called hope

one of a different kind.

Picking up the pieces

the nadir of yesterday

looking for that day called hope

that points a different way.

Musing through confusion

the kind that never stops

looking for that day called hope

you won’t get in the shops.

Finding sense or could it be

that ship has long since sailed

looking for that day called hope

to prove I have not failed.

Trying to understand pain

why it’s striking now

looking for that day called hope

that will show me how.

Finding joy in life

the kind that makes me smile

looking for that day called hope

that makes it worth the while.
