Hope and Faith

I shift and sift the sands
of time
solemnly, only in my
mind
and weigh the say
of daily pray
and wonder if I'll
make the climb

too much lost on love
long spent
and too soon
to have reached content
though softest croon
lies deep in my throat
it's caught, the note
it hardly floats
I can't sing
for solace to bring
~ but the rains,
they come again ~

fleeting, albeit, the sad
gray days
so I sift and shift
the moments away
in rhyme of time
a sip of wine
and look forward
to what might be
~ for hope,
you see…
carries me…. ~

the moment will pass,
while looking glass
glazes o'er
the truth of sure…

and I gather in
then blot up
the spilled dreams
of a loving cup
but drips and drops
are left behind
sweeter fallen
than in my mind

and curse not I the
roads traversed
for they have all rehearsed
me to where I shall
stage
my written page
for the war's been waged
and gone is the rage…

and gone, too, the grief
lacking, tho, a sense of relief
~ but hope,
you see,
carries me….
and faith… ~
that I shall find
the best that's yet to be
e'en if told for now
my dreams are naught
but fallacy

I shall dream my dreams,
anyway
and believe in the belief
that come what may
this striving gives goal
to find the shoal
that shall harbor me
as my dreams foresee….

for hope, and faith, carry me.

Sunshine,
Good one.

I shall dream my dreams,
anyway
and believe in the belief
that come what may
this striving gives goal
to find the shoal
that shall harbor me
as my dreams foresee….

for hope, and faith, carry me.

Enjoyed. *L*

Kari dear heart, how utterly utterly truly wonderful is this piece from you utterly fabulous work love. Oh how much this calls to me, it really sings in my soul. Just when I think I might be reaching a little further you show me how vain I really am. This is such brilliant work love, superb truly terrific.

You know, Charisma, I almost didn't add those lines...I had thought the poem done before I had reached them...

I'm so very glad they found their way in...

thank you!

How true is is that we not lament the roads that brought us here because, although rocky, we have arrived at this place because of them....very poignant, sunshine

You have such beautiful rhythm to your poetry.   I find when I'm tense and need to relax, I need to go look for you!   Thank you!!!!  

To capture and live a moment is truly living
