Until Hope is No Longer a Ghost

Where the moon has called you mine
I will conquer all of my tears
Gather them from among the grasses
Where they have cut my heart
Like shards of glass

I will watch the clouds as they move
Across the hills of dreams
Until hope is no longer just a ghost
I have painted into a corner
Of wounded victory

This battle will no longer be my king
Suppose to be will now reign
I will not miss these tears of mine
For I will be shielded forever
From this.............
My pain

"This battle will no longer be my king" I like this part the best because that is the trap that we fall into, we fight for the battle and not for the outcome. We pick our battles unwisely and that hurts us more. Tears cleanse us and I know I don't miss them but I also I need them to stay sane. This is a beautiful soulful write.

Love the picture you have painted here!

This battle will no longer be my king
Suppose to be will now reign
I will not miss these tears of mine
For I will be shielded forevere
From this.......
My pain

This is Hope in its glory - to buoy upon the sea , to find strength to live - to love

[BlackCl0ud]

I really don't know how you come up with your ideas . . . As always your language use I envy and the strong emotion of determination through out tops it all off.

[Ladysue]

Overcoming pain and tears..Nice one!

[CalebSchadeck]

very true so very true in some people hope is dead,
hope is a ghost to them and it is so sad i think this poem expresses nicely how people feel when they give up hope.
