like tears

like stars, scattered across the ocean
of life, silver in blue

like the dew
on the softest leaf in the morning sun

like your voice
saying
my name

is hope

wings

like heart beating rhythm through the veins

faith is fire

like the immovable mountain

ocean
lapping against shores

of light


*

love

like air

like the sun
when clouds cover the sky

like the new moon in the shadow of earth

gravity
pulling all
together
