Poem
Hope is a song of bird Reassuring forlorn dawn, The nightmare is banished And the dream is still alive Hope is a Lotus flower Drowning in the night Yet, rising through mud With ebullient sunrise Hope is an autumn leaf Gamboge on brown That curls up and dies, Only to bud again with Spring’s verdant vibes Hope is a glint of smile On the face of despair When helping hand arrives Trekking by its side Hope is a concert Of euphoric hatchlings Yearning first flight Flexing freedom wings It’s the elixir of living Priceless for everyone And everything for some~ Hope’s their only means Hope is a prayer Tolling of benevolence In places of worship Seeking in earnest Triumphs over tragedies Written: February 3, 2022 Submitted on November 2, 2022 to: 2022 Poetry Marathon Mile 19 Poetry Contest Sponsor: Mark Toney Placed 1st: A Strand 1074 contest Placed 1st: Hope Poetry Contest Sponsor: Mohan Chutani
