Hope is a Mainstay

At the very center core of humanity lies an innate 

desire to expect, to believe in something deeply.

Not in the simple definition of expect and believe,

 but to cling to ideals as if one’s very 

life depended on them.

There is a heart beat that stabilizes 

even the most tumultuous existence.

Though it’s been beaten down, sucked out, hung dry, 

there is not a crucible that can separate it from those 

earnest to know it’s sustaining power.

It’s concrete, like a structure you 

can build something on. It’s eternal.

The spring’s source, fed by sheer 

stubbornness to keep bubbling.

There is something deeper, wider, greater, longer, 

higher, kinder, 

more self-sacrificing than anything thus 

created by man.  

Hope is a mainstay - a support - until a day comes 

when He who designed it comes to fulfill it.
