Hope is an optimistic state of mind
it’s believing things will work out
even when surrounded by chaos
Hope is a dream waiting to unfold
it’s found in broken wings of a goose
an unwavering resilience to change
Hope is a kiss of dazzling sunlight
it warms the flesh with renewal
breathing in positive energy
Hope resides in heartfelt prayers
encouraging us to be strong
it’s in the beat of a steady drum
Hope is a rainbow after the storm
saying goodbye to darkness
and choosing light....
Hope is a lifeline
grab it with all your strength
and never let go...

Hope is definitely "The hardest love we carry"
Saying goodbye to darkness and choosing light....that is a source of hope to me - that many more millions of us choose light over darkness and eventually light must prevail.
ReplyDeleteDarkness may surround us but, we can still choose light in our daily lives. It is my hope more will shift towards the light.
DeleteAnd that light is God...
ReplyDeleteHope is found in light...god is light
DeleteTruedessa, you have really definined hope with the examples you have given. We have to keep looking for that rainbow after the storm....and appreciating those moments of hope when / where we find them.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary - yes, we need to keep looking for that rainbow after the storm.
Delete"Hope is a lifeline" that often becomes our own inspiring thought, our dream, our resilience, light, energy, prayer to set everything right. So wonderfully expressed.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sumana for the lovely comment.
DeleteGreat one! Funny thing you should mention chaos on the day I hear my part of the city will be cut off the rest of the city for months due to road works and we won't even have a bus available now when it is 40C plus all August! What a hell on Earth, hope your hopes are looking brighter over there LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Dezzie - Sorry to hear about your road situation. That doesn't sound good at all. Stay safe
DeleteOf everything you've written, True, this may be my favorite.
