To Reveal

As to reveal hope
She climbs to the top of the mountain
Expecting to see a world of dream and joy...
But what greets her wide eyes
Can not be explained as colorful...
But what was, was very cold...
Black, gray...lifeless, or so it seemed...

She fell from her own feet,
As an expression of defeat
And her hands covered her weeping eyes
Her sobs broke the dead silence
And seemed to echo aloof the fog,
Hovering above the unknown.

Then, a hushed rustle began to whisper behind her
And her long hair began to wisp around her face
She was nudged by the playing wind,
Requested to play along.
Giving in, she stood, and turned around...
She froze, as if to be caught mute and lame
And her balance was again threatened...
However this time,
The breathless figure she had beheld
stooped low to pick her up again
And He continued to carry her to the place she had been,
To the place where such faith and anticipation had danced in her eyes
and to that same place,where all the hope had been snatched and carried away...

He brought her back, and began to stretch out
His hand,toward the fog...clearning away the edges
Her eyes began to open once more
As she gazed at the darkness,
The bitter, cold despair melting from the valley below
Her eyes widened, and she became entranced
With how the beauty replaced such ugliness...

As to reveal hope that was.
