Hopeless

Free verse

Hopeless

Perhaps, 

a glimmer of hope resides 

in the delicate balance

between numbness. 

and the fragile 

thread of hopelessness.

Farjana,

All that is needed for the continuance of keeping keeping on is that essence of the very words you have shared so beautifully above, most especially you words, "a glimmer of hope reside ..." ... For a glimmer of hope is all that is required to restoke the fires of inspiration, dedication, observation, dedication, and emancipation of the desires of the Human Heart, be it one person, a people, or a nation ... Truly enjoyable and most contemplatively meditative philosophical lines of fine Poetry ...

hellos, that's the hardest thing, when love falls in one side, or was never really there
it breaks one to pieces, so hard to contain, internal pain, :) great write, Dear.

very poignant in such few words, i think it's human nature to search for glimpses of hope in everything that seems hopeless. i really enjoy reading your work :)

Thank you for your words!

Hope is the beacon of light before reaching the safe shores, after the tumultuous storms at sea.
You write wonderfully.

[Farjana Shah Chaity]

The role hope plays in our lives as a source of strength and resilience.

[Sami Khalil]

I agree wholeheartedly. You are welcome dear poet.

A brief speculation here, but one that definitely provides food for thought. The numbness mentioned would seem to be the reaction to a traumatic event. The result of such events can often be hopelessness, but the poet is saying perhaps a glimmer of hope exists between the numbness and the hopelessness. Those contemplating suicide could benefit from a few readings of this one.

Certainly, your interpretation offers a thoughtful perspective on the poem. Amidst the darkness, a small spark of hope could lead to a path of healing and recovery.

Dear Farjana, I loved that this poem highlights how fluid the human state if. How a tiny ray can help end a night and conversely how a bit of darkness can overshadow an entire sunny day. Your words give me so much to ponder on. I loved the beautiful imagery that the poem offers for the reader to immerse in. Well done, my friend.

[Farjana Shah Chaity]

Absolutely, this poem is a poignant exploration of the fluidity of human emotions and experiences. The smallest glimmer of hope or despair can dramatically impact our perception of reality. Thank you for your inspiring comment, DIVYA!

What a compact punch you have delivered Farjana. Hope, despair, disdain, with just enough of a hint of finding what's sought to bring the reader to a boil of satisfaction.

very enjoyable read

After reading your poem I can say that there's no perhaps about it. I feel there is a glimmer of hope. Wonderfully explained and expressed.

[Farjana Shah Chaity]

Thank you for sharing your observation on this poem.

'Perhaps' is a large word with numerous meanings, in spite of its apparent intentions - usually! However your brain and sense of comfort have created a near miracle between the left and right of life! Super sweet writing. Farjana Chaity

"perhaps" and its various meanings, as well as its ability to bridge the gap between different aspects of life. thank for your observation.

[emmajoygreen]

Your posts contain heaps of inspiration, Farjana.

numbness is devoid of feeling, but a fragile thread is after all a connection however small.. and therein resides the glimmer or light..

[Farjana Shah Chaity]

Your comment eloquently captures the nuanced interplay between emotions and connections, thank you!
