poem: FIND HOPE

[waves]

~ FIND HOPE ~

Fraught with frustration, do not be consumed
Innovate and overcome
Nothing is certain, and nothing is doomed
Dream of what you wish to come

Hold up the curtain that threatens to fall
Open what circumstance finds
Persistence can make opportunity call
Even when circumstance binds.

Waves,

I had read this the day you posted and thought I posted a reply, obviously not. You have a wonderful talent, I hope to read more! I am also going to share this with my DIL, and ask here if she experiences the same. It has opened my eyes as to what she and my Mom may experience. Thank You!!;)

Looking for more!
Kathy

Thanks :) Wow I feel honored that you want to share my poem with others.

I already have two other poems posted here. tho not quite as inspirational nor as cleverly constructed (no vertical reading). but i like them.

well one could be seen as inspirational... the title misleads perhaps... perhaps i should change it (what do you think?): poem: Backward Chaining (http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=31545)

the other is really related to bipolar disorder... an experience i had one night started out sort of hallucinatory but euphoric in quality as is typical of mania: ~ White Fever ~ a manic foray... (http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/showthread.php?t=31649)

Waves, I must say--you are an inspiration! I hope someday I can write as eloquently as you.

As one whose hope suffers from time to time, this touched me greatly. I try not to falter, but sometimes I just feel I'm not good enough. This poem...like a psalm or hopeful instrument from a dear friend...makes me wonder if I have the ability to become something more than I am now....I want to change so badly...I hope I can achieve all my dreams, and I hope you can, too.

You really brightened my day by writing this. Thank you *hug

waves,

Interestingly this one started verse in my mind after reading it, (no not stucco;))...

thank you for sharing, no idea if it will cause me to write one, though clearly the wheels are spinning :)
