Hope
Hope
In the center of my chest
friendly, warming
like sleepy tea sliding down
my throat in late evening
Giddy in my belly
gentle wings fluttering
or happy toes,
sliding out of shoes
A sensation of rising—
hawk catching thermals,
free-riding the air wave
Like that
"...hawk..." Ah, hope is the thing with feathers..."wings fluttering"! "Like that" Love "happy toes" and "sleepy tea"!
"Like that"! What a landing... and a takeoff, too! Nicely done!
