When the world goes dark, and you search blindly with fear – I will be the light that shows you the way. When the world goes still, and the grief is too much – I will be the hug that you need the most. When the world does nothing, and the rage is overwhelming –Continue reading “I Will Be”

Worldly Illusion
The world was once so accessible and now it’s all in disarray. Offensive, incorrect, and judgemental – a few tones to the infamous melody. What happened to respect? What happened to common courtesy? Are we all to be scrutinized for the remaining time we have? Must it all be a trigger to a larger dispute, Continue reading “Worldly Illusion”
Valley and Sky
The valley holds the secret to the sky of acheivement. What possesses our finest also houses our greatest fears. A crystal ball of promise, life, and love. An orb of misfits, deceit, and death. But little do we know – the key isn’t to separate, but to find that fine line between valley and skyContinue reading “Valley and Sky”

Normal routine, interrupted by chaos and tragedy. An impatient sound fills the space with terror and leaves a scar of flame. Initial burning morphs into a numbing peace.

Autumn Days
Scarecrows, pumpkins, and apples- Shorter days and longer shadows- Colored leaves and sweaters. Summer has sadly come and gone, but Autumn is here with cider and cuddles.
Cloud of Despair
Like the clouds I am free- to be who I want to be. A puff of white or a blackened canvas. An attempt to change me will result in failure. A twist in fate- just enough to sate the beast within. Who dares to answer the call? Not me, for I am nothing. A cloudContinue reading “Cloud of Despair “
Heard
The parking lots are empty- the workplace deserted. Same holds true in my life- a void in my heart. But I find comfort in my loneliness, the same those do in crowds. But I don’t need the deafening silence, for I am heard through everlasting words. © October 2015 by Amber L Hoppa
