1223


A promise of better days
Even when caught in puzzling maze

The promise of sunlight
Even when the storm might

Blown your roof off
Yes promise not to scoff

For daylight's promise follows
Dark night shadows 

Promise moon to smile back
And smile back

    promise permeates your poem with hope, Gillena. All good stuff. I like the line that you must also give if you want to remain hopeful.
