Persistent Heart

The heart will hope relentlessly
foaming at the mouth to find
the smallest pinhole ray of light

Perfect persistence of spirit
the boundless song of belief
that provides moments of peace in pain

An inner ember of forever faith
unable to be extinguished despite everything
the benevolent ability of finding reasons to breathe

Hope is a mercy from the higher self
that shelters us from complete despair
the solitary star that keeps us striving

Resiliency bestowed from some secret inner strength
sweet echoed illusions from a future yet to come
this experience of the heart surpasses all outcomes
