Hope

Long drawn arguments

that run into the night

the wear and tear of nerves

verdicts of history

long walks up the hills

bickering voices

raised and lowered

disbelieving heads shaken

in distress

loss of patience

days of pondering

the possiblities

in times of despair

elusive fruit

of love for things intricate

combustion of suppressed

aspirations

hope triumphs

hope is fee

hope flies

with the wind.
