HOPE Like a ray of sunshine Peeping through a tiny crack Comes hope When all your world Is black Somewhere there's a future Beyond those dungeon walls Where sunshine knows No boundaries And hope rains Free for all. [This message has been edited by Septsong (edited 01-01-2000).] |

-sigh- this is a nice thought that hope will rain free for all. the poem kind of makes me sad though, because it's not really true compressed paper burns less easily lily davison |

This was beautiful, hope is in all of us, it's just sometimes we forget where to look. Happy New Year  At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. (Plato) ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

Oh, lily, peek through that dark keyhole, and you might find some hope - truly! I dared to peek so many times, peering through the darkness, and then, one day, I saw a candle burning softly, moving about - and it proved to be my hope - my joy - Never give up! And write, write, write! "Through everything, remain your own good friend; and so crucially, paint it all with words!" |

For the longest time I lost all hope, now that I have someone special it is starting to come back to me. Don't stop writing, your words hold a powerful message. |

Hope truly is the rays of sunshine peeping through a little crack. You describe hope perfectly, Steptsong! Sometimes I just feel that even though there is hope at the end of the tunnel, that tunnel can be so very long and dark, and it can even seem never ending! JOY |

Thank you for your comments, I am glad you enjoyed it. I wrote this at a time in my life when I had just about lost all hope, the last part I had said Maybe there's a future behind the dungeon wall, but recently I changed the last line to read Somewhere as I have found that hope is always there, it's that our view is blocked. I am so glad I found Passions, I love reading all the lovely poetry that you all write. |

Septsong, I enjoyed your poem so much, it reminded me of a poem I wrote about hope. I will post it for you some time. |

Very Very beautiful. I feel a sweet simplicity in the words. Jennifer Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual. |
