A Hint of Hope

She gazes past the golden fields 
beyond the wheat that summer yields 
above the solitary oak, so still
where a lazy hawk, with circles fill. 

He feels the drifts in windswept skies
her soul goes drifting, by and by
she’s carried from her lonely bed
to fly away, no fear or dread. 

And when the moon at night alights
her hopeful eyes, with tears delight
she looks beyond the stars above
and feels the wonder of God’s love.

You are obviously well, full of hope and have not lost a love for poetry. All is well with me too. I have been invited to do readings for Matariki celebrations (Maori new year) locally and have two time slots. Quite humbled by it. Also birth of Identical twins not far away to our eldest daughter due in August. Best regards David

Beautifully reverent Laura. It makes me sad to think so many in the world reject the true hope that lies in Jesus

Hi Laura! Hope does have a way of showing us what is beyond "the stars," "windswept skies," and "lonely" beds. It does, indeed, "carry" us past midnights and into the wondrous realm of God's love. Your words carry that promise of comfort and blessings! Blessings to you! So happy to see you posting again!

Thank you, Sam, for stopping by to comment! It’s been a struggle to write for awhile now…so starting small with simple poems. Thank you, again! :)

Beautiful. Everyone can always use a hint of hope. Thanks for opening my eyes, sometimes I simply forget with all the humdrum of the on goings of the world, that there is still wonder out there.
