There is hope

There is hope


​​There is hope down on the old farm...

there is hope in the past 
the heart wood
and the history

there is hope in the future
in the swallows return
and in what we can learn 

There is hope to be found
In food rising out of the ground
There is hope, life goes on

There is hope in past and future
Yet in the present there is more hope still

There is hope in love and care
As there is hope in the air

In fact there is always hope
If we look in the right place
There is always hope 
In the light and the space
Which remain forever the same

There is hope just in hope
In the heart there can always be hope
In the light and space of the heart
Which may remain forever the same

(And, believe me if you will,
This is not just a hippy mind game!)
