Michael's sections are in purple. I feel it at times, the Sun. A warmth on my face luring me calling Reaching deep into the soul burning the very essence of my being A feeling I recognize, beckoning me Yes, I know her by name and always she calls me but never, never do I answer why? A feeling warmth caressing the soul in touches light and feath’ry soft comforting the mind with healing lilts of laughter and balmy sighs ~happiness, fleeting~ The sun sets beyond me, leaves only the chill of Night, and yet, her whisper lingers in shadow reaches through this self created Darkness pulls at me challenges me to step forward dares me to believe yes, I know her name but still, I fear her Fear not nature The change of things and chances taken, given Take hold ~ forward steps although with trepidation embrace the joy nurture tenuous skeins of hope to grow and flower anew I’ve wandered endlessly Searching always never trusting Search not to hide your deepest joys I can no longer hide, i see it the sun of a new horizon Dawn upon your deepest dreams let hope hold and heal I feel her arms around me tender, loving Alas, I fear no longer I know her She is "Hope", and she is mine |

Amazing! I am floored by this poem. Excellent job, you two. "her whisper lingers in shadow reaches through this self created Darkness pulls at me challenges me to step forward dares me to believe yes, I know her name but still, I fear her" and "Fear not nature The change of things and chances taken, given" I think those are my two favorite parts. They really echo some things going on in my life. It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. --W.E. Henley |

Nicole, I just want to say what an absolute joy it was to collaborate on this poem with you. It is seldom two people share such unity in thought, much less are able to put it into verse together. In reading this, it's clear your verse brings the whole piece to life. I found that to parallel life in a strange manner. I want to say thank you for being such an inspiration and true friend to me over the past few months and for helping me to focus on what lies ahead - not what has been left behind. In this manner, you have helped bring me back to life. You are a wonderful writer, I hope to have the chance to do this with you again soon. Michael |

I’ve wandered endlessly Searching always never trusting Search not to hide your deepest joys I can no longer hide, i see it the sun of a new horizon Dawn upon your deepest dreams let hope hold and heal I feel her arms around me tender, loving Alas, I fear no longer I know her She is "Hope", and she is mine WONDERFUL!!!!!!! The ending just captured me..I loved all of it. Well done both of you, I look forward to another in the future!!  ~Kelly  ~Kellsue Reflect upon your present blessings-of which every man has many-not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some. ~Charles Dickens We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Winston Churchill |

I apologize for this taking so long in replying, but I couldn't let it go without thanking everyone for each and every lovely reply. Michael and I had a good time writing this, and I'm quite happy with the way it turned out! Michael, you sweet man. Stopit! M'friend, I believe that it is the collaboration of the minds of two very good friends that brings this piece to life. (Okay, nah...it was all you guy!! lol) Keep the hope alive, she'll do ya good. May I never be too busy to help another's load, Then I'll be drinking from the saucer 'cause my cup has overflowed. --Author Unknown |
