Hope And Her Sister (Poem)


There were two sisters, unalike twins.
One was called Hope. She was pretty and bright.
And just like her name, optimistic and light.


I so loved her visits, when she came by to say Hi.
She made me feel better, no matter which day.
And promised me blessing, one day they’ll me mine.


Hope was hard to grasp though, seemed somehow surreal.
Her “One day” and “Maybe” moved ahead by the day.
And whenever she left, her sister stepped by.


Hope’s sister’s a tough one, as Hope is light she is dark.
Her aura is heavy and her attitude bad.
She only sees negatives and remembers the worst.


Dissi she’s called, Disappointment in full.
And just like her sister she only means well.
She wants to protect from new pains and from loss.


At some point I noticed, they never visit at once.
And I started to wonder what is going on.
Who are they really and what do they want?


I figured it out once I looked at myself.
How one lifted me up and one tired to protect.
But I was never aware of the price that I paid.


Hope pulled me to the future, a place that doesn’t exist.
Dissi’s stuck in the past, which no longer is.
But my Now remains empty when the sisters are there.


So I took all my courage, told them both to stay put.
I settled deep in the Now, no escape, no control.
And when uncertainty struck, I stayed right where I was.


What happened then, was the most magical shift.
All the fears and the doubt melted away in my heart.
And all that remained was pure openness and love.


The most magical space opened right in my heart.
A radiant light that penetrates my whole world.
And transforms all the dark into beauty and love.


It’s so worth to stay with yourSelf in the Now.
No escape to the future no reminiscing the past.
The Now is the place where all power lies.
Heaven within. One that truly will last.
