Hope

I awoke from a long sleep
to find myself
walking along
the beaches of my destiny.

As the seas of time
washed gently
around my feet
I looked up
to see you standing there.

As I reached out
to touch the vision
you brought to me
I wondered.

What turn of fate
brought you here
to the beaches
of my heart?

If I were
to close my eyes,
would you
still be here
to help me
open them again?

So I let my fingers
rest upon your cheek,
closed my eyes,
and hoped.
