my hope

my hope is wrapped in sunshine

then tied up with a shadow

my rhythm is sweeter

when dressed in a cape of hope

my footsteps are the metronome

syncopated perfectly to my inner rhythm

my patience is like a flower

blooming in the bright sunshine

today it all came together

in one perfect package

I adored the above lines. I do need a warm day in Michigan. Old winter is holding on. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Sorry your winter is not leaving as it should by now. We are so fortunate to live in South Florida. It is 80 degrees today! Thank you for your review, John. Lydi**

A gorgeous poem wrapped in light, joy, softness, and faith. 'Hope', 'Patience' articulate their crossing without borrowing any hard or dark tone. A poetic delight! Perhaps it is my first time with your words in writerscafe. I missed a lot.

It is my pleasure

That super special moment when perhaps after many year soul seaching, ( some never get there )
at long last, harmony, tranquility and self acceptance combine and come together as inner peace infuses the soul, yes indeed, one is finally in sync with the rhythm of nature...

Inspiring write dear Lydia!

So happy to know you enjoyed, Tom. Thanks a lot. Lydi**

'my hope'
Lydia Shutter,
Oh I am so glad I came across this happy and joyful poem. I have needed the light as this life and world can be rather dark and brittle. This was a acknowledgement of thankfulness sought and accepted as a gift. One's own choice, my own choice.
I wish you all the best in your writing craft.
Kathy

Kathy, what a lovely review this is. It is rare that a day is just perfect and I had to write about it. I am happy it provided a bit of light for you! Thank you so much. Lydi**

Ahh...so typically and wonderfully Lidi! (my footsteps are the metronome
syncopated perfectly to my inner rhythm) Being the musician that I am, these lines spoke to me especially. ~Sharon

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, your fingers dance on the piano keys and teach others too. Thanks so much, Sharon. Lydi**

The radiance and pleasure of a day like your words is what makes LIFE live, Lydi! Hope should announce itself in the way you have created it.. with a fanfare of all dancing and singing words, soaked in the best palette. Wonderful accompanying painting, too!

Very much hope life is being kind to you, my long standing and sitting friend!

[Lydia Shutter]

Life is good....really. We were on a vacation for a bit and now we are back. Sorry I did not thank you sooner. I appreciate you, Emma. Lydi**

I rarely complain about belated reviews as can rarely catch up with reviewing myself and permanently feel as guilty as heck. Very early morning greetings, my friend. :) Must try to get back to sleep else will be asleep in breakfast in two hours!

[emmajoygreen]

Yes, that painting could be Em a million years ago!

beautiful .. we must have those days now and again or we surely will perish .. especially like the connection between her footsteps .. and perfect syncopation with her inner self .. beautiful stuff says i, Ms. Lydi .. just so sublime and at peace .. love it!
