Hope

Photo Source

Watching, a  plate glass between you and those you love, your dreams and secret heart desires are trapped.

Pushing your nose tight against the cold, the light is fading.

Darkness is washing over the faces.

All that is left are reaching hands.

Whispering into the glass, you tell them

"Your existence gives me hope."

    "a plate glass between you and those you love"
    Tormented to see the one that you want but can't have.
    Wonderful.

    That's quite mysterious! A train carriage is what it makes me think of?? No?
    I like it!

    Oh, this poem makes me think of this sad memory of seeing a child taken by child protective services. Hopefully that had a kernel of hope inside there too.

    BTW, I *LOVE* your subtitle to your blog.
