Hope Is As Hope Does

When fear replaces hope
You stop too long in one place
You think you can never get out of it
You feel doomed by yourself that you are stuck

When fear replaces hope
You get tired more
You find reasons why other things don't get done
You can't think past the fear that you are in
Long enough to be "present" in other things

Yet when you have hope
You speak in solutions
You speak, I finished this and I finished that
And you start looking for other things to do and to finish

You see fear breeds fear
And hope breeds hope
Love breeds love
Depth is what happens when you understand that this happens

Fear is the opposite of life
It stops life right to the point that you fear it

And Hope reminds you that everything is possible for real
And the only difference between something happening and something not happening
Is you deciding it will

Hope is the Hop in your steps
That keeps your shoes walking
And trust that you will find what you are looking for!

The Light of Wings

When wings are spread
You can see everything underneath them
When wings are spread
Light is able to shine

When wings are spread
Everything underneath them is allowed to spread too
You see, all the wings are
Are the way through to the clouds

Wings can fly
As we forget we can
We think the clouds don't move
That they are always just there

Yet above the clouds the sky is actually blue
The light is there without obstruction
As the rainbows shine after the rain
The light is always there waiting for you to find it

We all have wings
We just forget we can fly
We think our wings don't work
As we forget we have dreams
And live in the Have To's
Instead of Want To's

Want To's can rule
Your smile can shine
The light is above the clouds
And the clouds can be flown through

Nothing is as it seems
Nothing is as it is seen
Everything has a way of working
And always we have the choice

It is funny that we forget how much we know
And even when we forget
If we just used what we knew already
We could live in our dreams
And that dreams are meant to become reality
