I will always Hope

I will always Hope

A Poem by Gerry Legister
"

If in this life only that we have hope we will become most miserable

"

If in this life only we have hope

We will become a community

Of people heading down a slippery slope

Without a place for sanctuary.

We carry optimism with us each day

Like burning flame of heat in the mind

Passing through a triumphant way

To renew therein the dreams that are found.

 

In slumber bound before we are awake

Ambitions of glory have walked through the night

In courageous garments before daybreak

Knighted stars hasten to bring the brightest light.

 

Our boldness can make new changes to come

Using hope to wrestle away an unwanted image

And make clean visage wear a daring crown

With fresh zeal that is transformed into courage.

 

The endeavor will turn into an icon of beauty

When you see what is done; you will always have hope

To enter other transitions from misery to stability

And look for encouraging opportunity to cope.

 

In earthly cottage with freedom for the future

Hope evokes the newness of endless variety

And will push away the formidable barrier

Until they rage only against ignorant ideology.

Your writing is beautiful. You express thoughts while staying artistic in imagery and symbolism.
"We carry optimism with us each day Like burning flame of heat in the mind Passing through a triumphant way To renew therein the dreams that are found." That segment struck as a truth of life. These truths are full of wisdom and may I say hope. Great work keep it up :)
