Hope, and Faith

I shift and sift the sands
of time
solemnly, in my
mind
and weigh the say
of daily pray
wondering 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 throat
it's caught, this 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
these 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 well 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
[though some regret] 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,
they carry me.

Karilea, this is beautiful beyond words, both the poem and the picture.
I'm keeping these, too.

Without hope or faith it would be very difficult to carry on.
So enjoyed your inspiring poem.

You already know I'm going to say this is quite lovely. When one fails to trust in self, they fail to shine. Shine on, Karilea

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn
