A Song of Hope

A Song of Hope When deceit is rewarded When betrayal is customary When enemies gain power When dreams are burnt by malice When the chatter of others is alien When hope is a foreign thing When beauty ceases to be gentle When there are no longer mornings textured with familiarity

When despair remains despair

Be still and watch at your window

Listen for the sounds of richer times gathering and conspiring in a revolt with a might which will flood the mountains and overthrow this season
