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.
