We Had Hoped

Luke 24:21

How hard to walk a bleak road          

Do you not know?

the path before us   uphill          

Have you not heard?

With talk of dreams   all past tense          

our feet come to a standstill 

A once-bulging heart   like a punctured          

waterskin   dribbles thin

& it’s pointless to refill   until made new          

But what if we’re wrong

about being wrong?   What if we let our          

hearts   again   burn within us?
