Reflected Hope

Reflected Hope
By, Jess Dickson

Searching deranged glass for reflection,
Cracked with brutal truth by the fist of terror
Pondering a moment yet to pass through refraction
Considering the fragments that remain in broken place
Pointing with inside eyes at the scars
Still remaining after passing ages of scattered self
Misplaced by after-thoughts and forget-me-nots
Repression’s grace saves today’s face
Cloaked with the smile that radiates only for you
Unpronounced speculation concealed in its glow
Questioning inverse perspective of dedication
Lesions of spirit healed in your vision
Eyes that gaze beyond the blemish of tears
Offering yourself without hesitation
Replenishing dried wells of inspiration
Irrigated with distilled waters of devotion
Hope infuses fractured dreams
Revealing desires of long awaited tomorrows
Resting in the outstretched palms of divinity
Summoned by the yearning prayer of freedom
Finding its beacon in the sparkle of hearts
