Sleepless Dream
Doubt is a birthless spring
with mourning doves of gloom.
Hope is a winter dream with daffodils in bloom.
Doubt is a hapless scheme
with devastating fright.
Hope is a stalwart dream with victorious might.
Doubt is a troubled theme
with killer bees in warm.
Hope is a comfort dream with shelter from a storm.
Doubt is a hostile stream
with unqualified gall.
Hope is a peaceful dream with justice for us all.
Doubt is a shrouded gleam
with shadows at the door.
Hope is a brilliant dream with goodness to explore.
Doubt is a muffled scream
with poorer days instead.
Hope is a sleepless dream with better days ahead.
