The Beauty Of Hope

What keeps us alive?
Could it be the fantasy of life
The confusion of love or
the authority above.
The imagination of a dream
The conclusion of an illusion,
The magic of a rainy day or perhaps
the blood that flows through our veins.
The fear of the dead
The dread of the unexplained
A belief that no one seems to make plain.
What keeps us alive?
A memory that we don't forget
What we feel and don't regret
The thirst to fulfill the emptiness
The state of absolute happiness
