Hope

Jeffrey Fisher

Are you a promise
          Or an apparition
A way of life
          Or simple attrition
An ideal to strive for
          Or to petition

At night alone
          Without a place
Without a home
          I wait for you
Wondering how far must I roam

What type of vision
          With what precision
Must I express
          For your collision

Are you a witch
          Hiding in a deep dark ditch
Maybe the light
          Or are you just a wish
