Holding Out Hope

Holding out for hope  leaving out the door
searching high and low tearing past grey
latching on to all the bells and whistles
left hanging out again in the pouring rain

With winds flowing through my speck of being
thoughts sit in waiting to fly across the sea
waves of promise rise up and shine for me
as notes adored walk bravely upon the shore

Watching pretty daisies on a clouded day
Surrounded with love, I think I'll stay

Robert Lindley Date: 1/3/2017 9:46:00 PM Hope is the honey that sweetens thy lover's tea.. So said the sage when asked if love is the last and best hope to hold romance in united hearts! Closing couplet shows, you have spoke to that same wise man , methinks. A7 Login to Reply

Daniel Turner Date: 1/3/2017 2:08:00 PM You haven't learned that "Hope is a fool's paradise" When the candle of hope burns up all that's left is a mess. Praying you are well, my friend:) Login to Reply
