Hope

Another older poem written when I was in Maui. Seems rather apropos for what is going on now.. Freestyle

HOPE....

Precious moments so clear,

a time of hope ...

a time of fear.

There is a time in our lives

when we must give up all lies.

Move on to the truth and enjoy

the time we have left, and 

release the fear

with hope.

This writing is footed so much to real world. It may be hard to migrate from fear to hope and freedom. In our lives especially after seeing so much and managed many issues there is a time, we need to breath little easier otherwise we never live without fear. Truth and poetry combined what a beautiful marriage.

Hope Eternal.... through a Tunnel where Light will bring us together... like Birds of a Feather... or as Emily Dickinson would say... "Hope is the thing with Feathers". tenderly, Pat

[Lisasview]

Many many years ago... we were born with Hope, faith and charity... but most of all we were born with Love. gently, Pat

And, dearest Pat that is so so true.

Good morning my dear,
Wrote this little poem in the 80's while vacationing in Maui...
I wonder now where the thought came from...
Lisa, already finished my coffee...and, soon going to work out

Good strong motivation behind these economic lines, nicely pared down and realised, excellent.

[Lisasview]

Splendid. Apt message in these hard times. Please try to publish this in a much larger screen, like magazine.

[Lisasview]

You must be trying to read my poem on a phone as it is the perfect size on my computer and others that have read it.
I would never make the font larger as that would not work.. The font is 3.5 Mot sure what you mean by magazine..
Lisa

[Riddhi Sharma]

I meant where more people could read

[Riddhi Sharma]

Like on a broader platform such as magazine, newspaper, competition.

[Lisasview]

Oh, now I understand.. Wow, what an amazing comment..How nice to say that You feel my work is worthy of that! I am so new to submitting my poetry.. This poem was written when I was much younger. Have you read any of my other poems - Sonnets?
I am looking over your work and will comment once I have finished..Lisa

[Riddhi Sharma]

Yes, I've read "Hand in Hand". It is a masterpiece. That was actually the first poem I had read on this website and didn't know much about reviews, that time.

[Lisasview]

You can still go back in and leave a review..please.

[Swoo]
