Hope For Reality

Would you let me

Fall back down

This mountain

I have climbed for you?

Everest is nothing

Compared to the change

Which I have had to tolerate

More like a shallow

One which I must fill

And seal with no more pain and hate

I must plant the trees

Which I tried to cut down

The ones which caused

My smiles

And frowns

I thought that if I burnt down

The forest of feeling

My heart would at long long last

Begin healing

Are ashes really ashes?

Dust really dust?

Only true

When life is lust

For I believe now

That if such love

Can rise from a battlefield

Of my demise

Then from the ashes of

All your broken hearts

A new beautiful you

Can rise
