Our hidden feelings, not so deep
Those hidden thoughts that just won’t sleep
They share our lives each day
Temptations, they seem always calling
Even though the years keep falling
What is the truth and way?
We wonder every day

In our dreams the all we see
Are they pictures meant to be?
Surviving on that hope
Planting seeds of many wishes
Accepting just what life it dishes
Reality will be
From wanting never free
Trying just to cope
Living on a hope

For me...when hope fades, faith kicks in and holds me up. Just so I can still believe. I think they may go hand in hand. Hold on! Beautiful pondering!

Sincerely,
Regina

The mind of the poet seems to ponder much, it is nice to share all the feelings with you, the highs and the lows. I am sure each day we all live on a little hope.

Thank you all for your replies, I look forward to reading your works soon.

Rick

The mind of a poet indeed goes here, there, and never quite settles anywhere, but leaves a trail of light in its wake...
