The Thread of Hope

The Thread of Hope

 

A fabric of many colors,

Bright and vibrant,

Suffers rents through time,

Showing a lack in resilience.

 

Oft times, the threads pull,

Out the come, one by one.

The precisely laid pattern

Becomes undone.

 

It can feel the same with life,

As our threads are pulled.

Like a beautifully knitted blanket,

Our lives’ tapestry tend to dull.

 

Perhaps, just perhaps…

The threads which we lose

Make room for more beautiful ones

Than the dull threads we tend to choose.

 

Soon, we realize

That we have threads of Faith,

Hope and Love…

Which have been in wait.

 

For the threads of hopelessness,

Hate and bitterness all had to go.

But to keep us, we always possessed

A glimmer of the thread of Hope.

I agree dear Melinda.
"For the threads of hopelessness,
Hate and bitterness all had to go.n
But to keep us, we always possessed
A glimmer of the thread of Hope."
Hope, we must have my dear friend and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
