[hometext] => Hope is always present
[bodytext] => ARISE Some days the air seems heavy, It pulls my spirit down. It’s hard to draw the breath of life And not to gasp a sound. The morning air is stagnant. My head throbs with pain. I wonder how long til night comes, This feeling, my existence’s bain. I rise because we all do. I breathe because of need. I scream aloud on the inside, I prepare to live out the deed. I have a feeling of sadness. My losses are too weighty to bear, It opens the door to madness, I think of the hurts that snare. There is always change in the evening, A coolness and movement of air. Life came and went in the daytime. I found things that show I care. There is one thing to take hold of. Not a mystery, secret, obscure. It was in my heart to begin with, I find it there for sure. It’s quiet and unassuming, Often buried under fare and fret. I need to spend time to look inward. An exercise I would not regret. HOPE can be small and o’r shadowed. My heart should open that first. How different the day be unfolding, If for that gift of HOPE I would thirst. HOPE whispers peace and clarity. It laughs never gasping for breath. It weeps with cleansing and washing. It promises both life and death. When I awake in the morning, I will search in the tiniest place, I will find the HOPE that HE gave me, Then look up to gaze on HIS face!
