Hope

 

I fall

like Spring rain

sprinkling the ordinary

with imaginary color.

 

I drop

drop, drop

from an unseen Hand.

 

Waiting to be taken

up and begin again,

content in the pattern.

[Fernando Pessoa]

Emily, this is a beautiful representation of hope and hope's life it gives to us. Like rain, it renews us in every way. :)

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”
― Emily Dickinson

[Emily B]

Thank you :)

[Alicante lullaby]

I drop
drop,drop
from an unseen hand...
you say so much so sweetly.

[Tommy]

Yes "Hope" is nourishment for life's delicate flower isn't it; feeding the soul, "I drop, drop, drop from unseen hands."

Wonderful write!

I liked it a lot. short and sweet.

[Jeff Loquist]

I can't believe I missed this one. Flawlessly constructed and beautifully written. I love the concept of the drops waiting for something more...much like the rest of us

Your talent is amazing, Emily Burns!!! What you say is obvious, yet so deep.

'Waiting to be taken
up and begin again'...

You take me into those blue, puffy clouds.... I don't want to come home...

[Benjamin L. Weekly]

Well Emily this is good. I enjoy this. Hope drip drip drops always. Short, simple, and poignant. Ideally thought Hope would be not a pattern but a constant :D

A pretty poem, giving charm to the image of the soft Spring rain and the unseen Hand

[PianoandPage]

i love the title of the poem. the image of the raindrop, the cycle, the fall and rise...

the way it infuses rainbows onto "ordinary" things. beautiful.

this poem is short and sweet and really does capture that elusive idea of hope.
