Bobette Bryan's Poetry
Star of Hope
I wanted
the past to go away.
I wanted
to leave it
and alight on another shore.
I wanted
to escape,
for my life to close
and then reopen
like a morning glory
opening its petals
to a new sun.
I wanted
what I am
to take wing,
to become a song,
to glide gracefully
into spring,
to become water
rolling over rocks.
I wanted
to dive into the pool
beneath the waterfall
of the sun
that held the work
of my life.
I wanted
to embrace who
I am.
I wanted
to catch the
shining star of hope
and discover who
I yet could be.
I wanted
to feel alive again,
if only for a little while.
