A Break In the Clouds

If cold callous hope eats your innards like wriggling worthless worms, trust in the Lord who will definitely warm your dissolute soul. For we all have sanguine expectations, bright prospects laced with confidence. And oft we rely on our self convictions, refusing help or never given spontaneously. We fly from hope to hope, like birds that search for the early worm. Only to find we've lost our battle, a sour taste on our palate and loss of confidence on self and neighbour not to mention putting all the blame on Him who could have helped us spontaneously. But think carefully my friend, for this journey is full of bestial storms, where thunder and lightning are deadly at times. Yet He has given us great hope for He provides us with what we need, a break in the dark clouds above.

A poem so inspiring and asking us to seek help from above in our trials of life. If we rely only on us, we will end in peril. "We fly from hope to hope, like birds that search for the early worm. Only to find we've lost our battle"...... Love these lines, Victor!

Yes we do hop from hope to hope dear Victor, but if we only stop and think, we will realize we have enough for today, and tomorrow, God will provide, thank you for sharing your heart always so eloquently. Have a blessed day.:)

Cold callous hope...and so your poem begins with a punch. The imagery drives one into introspection. Nicely done, Victor!

You penned a wonderful poem, dear Victor; Life has been full of upheavals and occasional successes, so we continue to look for undiscovered possibilities all the same. We skip from one hope to the next.
