sadness rests over the river of hope

sadness rests over the river of hope

praying for the unconscious aspects

to be revealed

~

moon approaches, and the heart has yet

to gain the knowledge

to allow the release

~

selfish remnants holding on to the

righteousness

will not allow forgiveness

~

sadness lingers above,

calling for a release and withdrawal

so it can once again

return to the river of hope

and be carried up stream

by the light of the moon

~
