Hope is my helium
Rising from my spirit
Lifting my soul
Buoyant
Resilient
Cannot be held down
A seed inserted long ago
Tiny in size, but dynamic in its work
Stronger than the Incredible Hulk
Indestructible
A seed within that cannot be aborted
Birthing babies of faith
And children of manifestations
Hope is my helium
It rises at the oddest of times
Whispering
Yelling
"You will LIVE and not die."
Hope is my helium
Raising me up
My alarm clock in the morning
My lullaby at night
Televising news reports of fruition of hopes once deferred
Pointing out stars
Stretching my hands toward them
Hope is my helium
And like it, I rise
