“Hope”,

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

poem

Speaker:

by

Speaker:

Russell Knight

Hope

Speaker:

is

Speaker:

held

Speaker:

above

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

clouds,
A

Speaker:

slash

Speaker:

against

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

grey
Aching

Speaker:

rolls

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

storm

Speaker:

that

Speaker:

lie
Swelled

Speaker:

beyond

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

open

Speaker:

sky
Between

Speaker:

eternity.

I

Speaker:

felt

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

graveyard

Speaker:

first
—I

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

lying

Speaker:

in

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

grave—
I

Speaker:

heard

Speaker:

it

Speaker:

speaking

Speaker:

from

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

stones,
Praying

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

not

Speaker:

alone.
I

Speaker:

felt it

Speaker:

between

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

days.

It

Speaker:

was

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

quiet

Speaker:

word
Over

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

soul’s

Speaker:

wooden

Speaker:

sound.
A

Speaker:

silent

Speaker:

song

Speaker:

that’s sweetest

Speaker:

heard
In

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

whistling

Speaker:

of

Speaker:

a

Speaker:

yellow

Speaker:

bird
As it treks

Speaker:

along

Speaker:

the

Speaker:

ground.
