Whisper of Hope
The trials of my horror had left me shaken, deep within the core of my being I could hear the terrible thunder of my heart, beating against the solid thrum of a distant and repressed memory. There was a time in which I believe I knew my life to be far simpler, that the depths in which I had delved into the inner workings of my mind had neither phased nor stifled my expression. In this state I do remember, the world seemed a much larger place than it seems, the reaches of my imagination were akin to the study of a blank canvas before an artist puts paint to the brush.
It was in this simple act of remembering, that my heart sang with the remedial echo of a complacent task, one I had often indulged in when I found my mind racing, my heart throbbing, and my lungs unable to breathe. In the dark shadows of the early morning's rising light, I took with me the palettes of my richest hues and set the sheet of white fabric, pulled taught with binding string, and began working. The subtle stirrings of my little one catching a breath of attention, worry that I might rouse him from slumber I pursued the quiet reflection of a job only my dreams had known and come to bare.
There, with the acquiescence of the coming dawn, did I bring to life the sonnet that had been singing in the foreshadows of my overworked mind, and with its completion, the barest hint of a smile played across my lips and took with it the anguish I'd once reprieved, left on the beautifully colored canvas. I found and returned to my slumber, with a whisper of hope in my ears.
