Inspiration piece

Walking steps down flooded dirt road
Hope
with dirty feet
staring eyes
and washed-worn clothes.

Poking my belly with laughter,
Hope dances
beneath wooden beams and generated lights.
Through slants of wood,
music vibrates;
taking the soul and lifting it up..

Playing catch beneath banana trees,
looking into brown eyes
piled hair
calloused feet.
Deep aching hides
beneath leaping joy
that surrounds and engulfs
with all its simplicity
and lack of time and success.

Hope lies in a hammock
looking up through mango leaves
at the sky.
