Hope

Will you write on me?
A piece of paper crinkled
With incomplete verses
And all over wrinkled..

How long will you try to solve
the jigsaw of broken shards?
Did you notice some are missing?
And some are charred..

Don’t you fear that you might
Never have me as whole?
Will you find that piece
That maybe someone stole ?

I have seen people carve
human figures from stones
Do you plan on being a stone-smith
And sculpt me to my bones?

Will you pick up the threads
And unknot the tangles
Slowly beginning from
the end that dangles?

Will you write on me?
A piece of paper crinkled
With incomplete verses
And all over wrinkled?

Hope is a hopeful word
A bit too optimistic
They say I am naive
I say I am a mystic..
