Hope: A Poem by Jennifer Stone

Hope: A Poem by Jennifer Stone

The past is burned to ashes.

There is no turning back.

Memory is etched in my soul;

I carry it with me wherever I go.

So I keep my gaze affixed ahead -

to a future free of dread.

I am love and I am light,

hope nudges me to take flight.

Never again will I be the same;

because my heart is a blazing flame.

By Jennifer Stone, Montserrat Retreatant
