"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." ~Shawshank Redemption

Life gives you reason to curse it

Call it unfair

When it tells you

That your reality ain't colorful

But dull and gray

How you deal with it

Will be your own

But

I hope you'd still try

To look for those specks of color

Out of those dull gray tones

A poem of hope, and lord knows I need a bit more of that these days. Its stopping to smell the roses, finding the perks in any bad situation...trying to find the good in people no matter how far deep you have to search for it. Such truth within this piece. Going into my favorites as a subtle reminder to find the specks of color within my life whenever its in turmoil. Well done.

I love this. It shows that every gray cloud has its silver lining

This is short but powerful. You're telling people not to give up and to keep pushing even though things are hard and life isn't easy. You're telling them to love the happy times and cherish them, but except the fact that they will pass. But even though they pass there will be more to come. I like how this is about keeping you're head up in the dark times. This is a brilliant write and I appreciate you posting this :) thank you!

Too much says with a little words... Nice poetic experience..

[Michael of Gilead]

Hope is a good thing, and it's nice to see it time to time here...far too many blame circumstances and situations for their lives.

Yup, that about sums life up in a pistachio shell. Quite a nice little piece of motivational stuff to give your mind something to gnaw on for a bit.
