Hope

The raising of Consciousness...

 

 

Mindless violence bends

the light, toward a darkened end.

Just as does the longing of heart

yearn, in the ways to peace.

 

Eased from the shadows

hollow form, hiding in between.

Fated futures cannot be retained

in silence, numbed truce.

 

Called whispered choice

pleading, long histories reason.

Echoes reverberate past lonely

screamers, need to know.

 

It holds to some meaning

this path, towards a quickening.

Murmuring winds that do tease

to blend, sendings uttered.

 

Some hope to its promise

remembered, in light upon light.

Five stanzas to give in measures

moment, not surrendered.

Great visuals. In silence numbed truce...was the line for me...and this path towards a quickening. Just goes to show how an artist can express so much with minimal words. Each line profound. Thankyou

"Fated futures cannot be retained
in silence, numbed truce."
No weak words in this poem. Direct to the point poetry. Each set of lines with a purpose and reason. Hope is all we got sometime. Can't surrender and must try to go forward. Outstanding artwork and poetry. Thank you.
