Nice senryu. Trust is required, but hope is alive.

Thank you, dear Jerry. Yes ...

Hope keeps us alive
trust allows to move forward
daring step by step



Thank you, dear D.. Water=life ... the dewdrop symbolizes so well the miracle of life I think.

Where do we come from?
Life is a spellbinding gift
divine mystery


Love and have a great day both.

Life is indeed grand, for the most part, Margherita...but some parts are not so grand...it is then, when the unseen forces seem to be steering you crooked, that the last line comes into the spotlight..yes, trust (faith) is a huge requirement.

Excellent use of the form,
I enjoyed reading it.

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.
Longfellow

Thank you, dear Martie, for your loving comment.

Thank you, dear EmmaRose, I enjoyed your reply. Yes we intuitively know!

Dear James, thank you so much for appreciating my thoughts.

Dear Ford, thank you so much for your loving comment. I believe Life is always grand, but our experience of our Path through it can be quite dramatic of course. I mean LIFE is a miracle, its origin, its evolution ...

Love,
Margherita

Dear Margherita-You have an amazing ability to match your wonderful work with the perfect picture to illustrate your poems.  Are you the photographer as well as the poet?

I had one of those grand days where someone did something so kind for me that it made my eyes tear up.  The amazing part was that they did it anonymously so I am not certain who did it.  A similar thing occurred in my life just a few short months ago.  I decided that since I couldn't thank the person myself, I would thank God and ask him to bless the person who gave me the gift.  

Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us.  You are an amazing poetess.

Love,

Faith

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Dear Faith, thank you so much for your endearing comment.

And thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. The blessings are a wonderful form of gratitude! Life shares many wondrous gifts in many forms and ways, no doubt.

I adore taking pictures myself, but sometimes I don't have the right one. This one is not by me, didn't find the author's name. Sometimes it takes me more time to find the right picture than to write the poem. Also because usually those I really like are too big or unavailable for downlaod.

Love and hugs.
Margherita

You certainly know how to match beauty with beauty, Margherita. What a magical poem.
