Hope - Poem

 I was asked by one of my friends recently to create a poem about hope. After a few minutes of thinking I had a concept in mind and sat down to write the first half. However, I did not end up finishing it due to a lack of interest and pretty much left the half written poem in the notes section on my phone.

Despite my previously mentioned lack of interest, I found over the last few weeks, that a newer, fresher idea starting forming in my head. When I found some time to sit down and put pen to paper (or in this case, lets just say I wrote it on my phone, because that is what I did), the creative process felt as honest and natural as usual and for me, the finished product is very nice.

I hope (get it, no, okay, bad pun, I see) that you enjoy the poem.

All the best,

Hope - Poem
Hope is the expression of the oncoming dawn,
Silent encouragement whispered through the winds breeze,
Hope is the light in the tunnel and at the end,
A light that will never cease.

Hope is the sun,
Shining bright in the sky blue,
It is the rise and the set,
Providing comfort with different shades and hues.

Hope is the grains of sand,
There are millions upon much more,
Even if it is washed over,
It will continue to burn like never before

I am blessed to have hope,
It is a gift that gives on giving,
It gives me strength to push through tough times,
It gives me a reason to embrace a new day of living.
