day 247

“where then is my hope?

    Who will see my hope?” Job 17:15

 

there you are,

at the very back

of the highest shelf

in my soul, where i

pushed you so long ago

that i nearly forgot about

you,

so may i get out

the stepladder

to support me, as

i pull you down,

and take you out

so everyone can see

that

yes,

there is hope,

my hope

their hope

your hope
