Finding Hope

Finding Hope

     Where is hope hiding?
I used to know where she hid.
     Now I have lost her,
I'm lost without her presence.
     She's here! I found her in me.

Hope and faith are sisters and you shared hope in your poem with her sister.

Even when we feel very sad, the light of hope burns within us. Your tanka is a good reminder that we just have to keep looking for it! Well done, Carlos. Hugs, Carolyn

Yes, we all have power within us if only we could lean how to meditate.
