Hope

Hope is elusive
Slipping away so easily
Just when you have it
And that secure feeling warms
A bit of the frost so common now
Your  winds of doubt
Finds that loose noisy board
And the rattle rattles you back
To reality
And the old fears seize your heart
With an icy grip so familiar
And before your eyes appear your
Well known mirages of impending doom
Your demons whirling in fevered delight
And once again
The tune the devil dances to fills the room
You join screaming to the madness
And with your stomping feet
The fiddler keeping double time
The roar of the wind finding welcome now
Through your every window and door  
All combine to rise to the heavens
In your great and mighty roar
Yet
Changing  not a single thing
The clouds drift slowly by
Lazy in a clear blue sky
Silent testimony to your futile cry
Scream bellow yell all you will
No notice or echo
All is still……………..
