Bending Light

in a Gray World of nothings

By: the iHope Poet

Who will be the dancer,

The twirler, the angel

to come

And remind us all that we are in the dark,

That we sometimes are the dark?

Who will shine the light?

On the hill, before the moon

Like a dream

Calling, come look at the sky

And stand up with me!

Will we follow, would we follow?

--Should such a miracle exist--

A hopeful wonder,

In the midst of this colorless life we live…

Sometimes we just need

To acknowledge

That if we don’t fly south today,

We will not be the same tomorrow.

Or will we?

And the stars, both above

And among us,

Are the only ones who know that now…

They whisper such things

Through the wind,

Into our hearts;

So it’s our choice to start listening!
