Hope

I'm listening to Woodward and Bernstein on MSNBC and they are talking about the hope of a psychic shift in the country and that Barack Obama's enthusiasm may bring about this sense of renewal.

A poem I wrote this morning while thinking about the inauguration:


hope

we are looking for hope
hope that makes us smile
hope that makes us dream
hope that comforts us

we are looking for love
love that fills the void
love that fills the heart
love that gives us peace

we are grasping for peace
a peace of mind that lasts
a kind of spiritual map
a kind of kindness that lasts

i am looking for promise
i am looking for optimism
i am looking for positive change
i am looking for a better world


god speed barack obama
