The Hope of Light Poem

By Dante Hieroden

December 30, 2025

Sometimes life sucks

It's like chewing on pennies

Dipping your toe into stickers

Running into a door

It's not always safe

But in these days you see

Hope cannot die easily

It's in the trees

It's in the birds

It's in our hearts

It's in the grass

It's everywhere

Don't let it go

Dream darlings dream

It is there we can escape

It's not forever but a moment

You know evil lingers

But light tends swiftly

Whether its Jesus or others

When the rain comes

It's not forever

Storms do pass

Pain receeds and leaves

If you need love

Just look inside

It will all be clear

Hatred will get better

Darkness is not an end

For without it no joy would exist

The balance of life is dear

So soon will be your beginning

But no you are not a commoner

You are a king of inspiration

So let your ideas flow

Don't hold back your freedoms

Nobody can chain you to chance

So read a book

Crochet a piece

Smoke your weed

Relax your muscles

Color and draw

We aren't lost at actually

Just seeking adventure

Let the church bells toll

If you not be a believer of anything

That's okay you are loved

Let's be friends

I will show you my scars

I will not be afraid of loving you

I see hope written in faces

Dreams can be made real

So dont give up

There's a lot to do

But one moment at a time

I love you stranger

Smile and let go

You aren't bad

Just wounded, my dear

So let time and work heal

It's going to be better

I know because we try

That's all you can do sometimes

It's enough. It's enough.

You are enough.
