I'd Like To Believe

Written for We Write Poems. I used a line from the lyrics of Fireflies by Owl City.

I’d like to make myself believe
that life carries on just as it has
for millions of years and more,
with no harm from me, no help.

I’d like to make myself believe
that love conquers all and overcomes
the darkness felt by all of us,
with few exceptions, light prevails.

I’d like to make myself believe
that life here is a beginning
I will see my loved ones again
feel their embrace, their presence.

I’d like to make myself believe
that the waters flow and the
mountains hold, the creator
of all of it is at the helm.
