The day begins
Another fresh start
Though cold outside
No longer should our hearts

Hands longing for purpose
Only to find none
Yet we survive
While under the gun

The sky is grey
Blue peaks through the clouds
The sun, she speaks
Of dreams to unshroud

The earth sleeps
Longing to wake
And reveal all its glory
So we may partake

Can you feel it?
Do you sense it?
The winds whisperings blew
A life with new meaning
Meant for me and for you

There's so much to live for
Happiness oh so divine
Though struggle we must
As we reach for the skies

Hope saves us from dark days
A candle burning bright
A shelter of warm rays
Transfigures the night

Hope floats like a rainbow
From the depths of our souls
Just reach out and grab it
For there's still miracles to behold

Keep on and keep smiling
Through pain, anger and the tears
Life's journey is such that
We traverse all our fears

And as twilight descends
Another day that we lived
Know that in your heart
You've given all you can give

So, dear souls, I leave you
With this part of my heart
Hoping your day is filled
With love from the start.

Moonkist,

Without hope, there is no reason to do anything, it is when this has been lost that we survive aimlessly.  Your poetry reminds us that this is the first stepping stone to the rest of the world...

Thank you, Ivor, for your nice reply... I hope it touches someone the way your poem, "Flame...", touched me... Peace always, Helen
