Hope Chest

Published on by farzmyall

What have you
Got there
In your Hope Chest?
I see a symbol equalling trust
A pendant for luck
I see a notebook with no pen
A feather from a chuck
I see a cracked cookie of fortune
A wind chime from a rundown den
I see baby clothes that haven’t been worn
A photo of a lost ark in it some sand
What have you
Got there
In your Hope Chest?
I see nothing but a hopeless fool
waiting for a glinting
guide to an unending conquest…
