Hope

 

I fall

like Spring rain

sprinkling the ordinary

with imaginary color.

 

I drop

drop, drop

from an unseen Hand.

 

Waiting to be taken

up and begin again,

content in the pattern.

[Fernando Pessoa]

Emily, this is a beautiful representation of hope and hope's life it gives to us. Like rain, it renews us in every way. :)

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”
― Emily Dickinson

[Emily B]

Thank you :)

[J. Hampton]

I love the idea in this...

Hope eternally recycled ....returning
in Gods own pattern

Such a beautiful way ...to say it

Blesssssssssssss

[JP thinks the WC is apt..]

The nicest compliment I could pay to this piece is to say that it is indeed hopeful. The images are breezy and I can almost hear the distant drumroll, and feel the refreshing spray of that spring rain. It's sparing and yet vibrant. It also has wonderfully simple echo of the haiku about it. And the hand that drops the rain hints at some vaguely religious offering.

Much enjoyed.

P.S: Thanks for the earlier review Emily - t'was very kind.

You really have a gift for expressing things in a beautiful unique way and I love the lilting, ultimately uplifting quality of this poem. From the first lines you had me completely enthralled. Excellent work here and a pleasure to read.

Ummm. That was beautiful to witness as well as read. You words were perfect and felt so inviting and heart warming to embrace. Always a pleasure to travel with your words as a guide. Purely Greatest

Hope what a beautiful thing! I hope that we never run out of hope.

"I drop
drop, drop
from an unseen Hand."

I like your repetition. Just a little bit, and not even a little bit too much!

Great write - truly inspiring.
