Hope has slept like a bear in winter

I’ve cursed the darkness as I lay cold

Mieux vaut plier que rompe…         

More than once a façade of faith

A dance of beggars and acrobats

Les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières...

A garden where your dreams can grow

Painted pink and cerulean skies above

Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre...

Your golden hair; your gentle touch  

Hope is waking, I can see it in your eyes

L'espoir se réveille…

Author's Note

Mieux vaut plier que rompre
(Better to bend than to break)
Les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières
(The little streams make the big rivers)
Tout vient a point qui sait attendre
(All comes in time to the one who knows how to wait)
L'espoir se réveille…
(Hope is waking up)

The hope wakes up.... such a beautiful poem, Craig. I adored it. Your words are tender and delicate like the fine petals of an orchid, rare and aromatic. Lovely and organic. From your hands, stardust is strewn across my night sky in shades of vibrant sonnet, and it's always such a treasure to become enamored within the blanket of your sentiments.

Lovely and fascinating write, I sincerely adore it.

Dearest Kristallo, you always bring such spring to my winter's world. I cannot thank you enough for breathing forth your poetic text here on the page, and for sharing the brilliant treasures of your heart and mind. May hope ever lift you with its wings.

Craig I see that you have not lost the "touch" while I was away, this is perfection and I loved the french accent lines, just such a wonderful presentation as always.

Excellent. I'm glad you translwted the French, though I understood it without that...a lovely Spring is coming...

Good things happen to those who wait and the harsh winter is ebbing to give way to endless beautiful new possibilities!
You created magic here with the breathtaking artwork and imagery.
Your muse is awesome!

*Swoon* Seriously, you're killing me with French this time in the morning! Oh lala...love this...tall oaks from little acorns indeed. You didn't even have to buy me dinner and a drink with this write...ha. Love it, killing me softly with his words, seems to be the feeling today. You woke more than 'hope' up with this one Craig! ;-)
