Stirring of Hope

Over the last few months of my life

I was facing a dilemma.

Torn between hopelessness and despair

each pulling me down

when I wanted to rise.

I was free of the plague called “hope”

but it stepped through me like a virus

I was content without it

but my heart has affinity with it

even though it was responsible for it’s tear and rip !

Against my will

I saw the sun

Against my choice

I found my pulse

and against my reluctance

I felt hope in me
