Hopelessness

When all hope is gone
and the only hope is
a hope of
something
to hope for

When the hope of
hope is finally gone
all false expectations
all fall away and
all that remains is
that which is

It is not what
one wishes it
would or
could be

There is only
what is;
presence in
the moment
and the joy
it contains.

Be thankful
for times of
hopelessness
there-in lies
the key to
knowing
the I that is
the self lost
in distraction
and the wonder
of each breath
we breathe.

Take the key
of hopelessness
and open the
door to the wonder
of who you are
and the ONLY
moment
given to you
to be,

NOW!
