Everyday Photo Poem (Hope)

Hope

Dark gray, light gray, just gray.
The intimidating, massive cotton balls
Creep along the sky,
Guarding the light,
Forbidding it to warm the earth.
A point of weakness
And light radiates in all directions
But it's still mostly hidden
By all the shades of gray.
The golden light escaping
Is an angelic choir,
It's like God opening the doors to Heaven.
Beautiful, magical, peaceful and hopeful.

Bitter-Sweet

A dress as dark blue as midnight
The end of it
Tickles the surface of the floor.
Her heals hide under that dress,
Secretly raising her up.
Her hair, as brown as chocolate,
Spirals down her spine.
She looks like she belongs
On a runway or a red carpet.
By her side he stands,
As tall as a tree.
Clothes as dark
As a moonless night.
The excitement radiates.
They are leaping
Into unknown waters together.
The fear plays peek-a-boo.
This night they took a risk.
A bitter-sweet memory,
She won't ever let it go;
It's a heartache now.
