An avalanche of hope

An avalanche of hope

snuck up on me

at midnight

it smothered me

in bucket loads of insomnia

I counted

half of Australia's sheep

by 4am

I was ready

when the sun

began to sing - 

a zenith of hope,

energizing my soul.

I reached up to heaven

and seized the day.

I like both the tone and the brevity of expression in this one. We need all the uppers we can get these days. Nicely done.

Thanks John. Sometimes it is so easy to to include in our writing all the surrounding negativity. It takes patience to hear the positive...:)

well, to be technical, it would take me 11.5 days to count to a million, if I count one per second.....and then I'd only reach 0.75% of Australia's sheep.....rofl...you asked! :)
You can see I've had way too much caffeine this morning...:)
