Elpis

the gods of guilt
unleashed the dogs of war
upon the windows
to my dreams

Yet even there
you are the princess
that commands
protection
against my regrets
sorrow
and the things of the
past that cannot
be unchanged

God only knows
what I would be 
without you

People who 
know me

identify me
as 
Resilient

unmovable
as a boulder
steadfast 
to circumstance 

Yet with every
great rock
comes compression
and 
you are my formation

God only knows
what I would be 
without you

Julia
a gentle breeze
you are my
Elpis ( goddess of hope )

God only knows
what I would be 
without you
