Refurbished Hope



 (some photos of 'her face' in the past week)

I never tire of your face
From dark folds you emerge
A newborn gathering of grace
Pure, virgin moment-surge

Somehow twixt farewell and hello
You shed your haggard stance
Where steps disheartened, weary, slow
Yearn now to leap and dance

Your form, refreshed and darkness-bathed
Exhales replenished mirth
Your labyrinth of yesterdays
Cannot return to earth

From charcoal cocoon your emerge
Draping the sunless slope
With tender mercy’s rampant splurge
And dawn’s refurbished hope

So often it amazes me, how the old becomes new in the morning.
What our mothers said is true, 'it always looks better in the morning'.
