My cup of hope flows passed its fill But this my heart is empty still Yet wait and wait it shall until The time for love is true These wishes may not come to me The time of right may never be My one true love may never see No matter what I do The longing tells the heart a tale Truth reveals a win or fail Voyage sets the quest to sail And beckons worthy crew While in my mind I see her there Be in this life or else somewhere Together we a love both share And passion known to few And bliss did live where we did rest And life became the very best As we passed each grueling test Together, me and you So still in day more hope I pour Within the cup that needs no more And look to see no wining score What more is there to do? But live each day until its end Pray for love while I pretend Live this life as fate does send And hope I make it through |

Hi Dixie, I've got the week off, unfortunatly hurt my back playing squash, so has not been a good week for me yet, so the computer seat is my refuge and poetry my time. I am enjoying my inspiration, not sure where it is coming from and not complaining. Raining here in Aussie land, just as well I say, crying for me. Have a great day. Rick |

Rick, you, dear inspiring poet ~ that's "inspiring" ~ not "aspiring"  ~ serve MORE than a cup of hope with your poetry! Love, Light, & Hope, Linda |

So very much enjoyed your hope shaded with reality. The closing lines perhaps sum up many of our lives. |
