There’s something magic about a friend who can hear your worst
and still keep hoping
Keeping the faith while you look for it like the little key lost
between hospital weeks
I hope my faith returns. I want to believe
that morning and bees will revisit the flowering tree
frothy and undismayed
above heavy traffic
