Hope

What is hope, ask a bee in cold winter days, she hangs around the pruned rose bushes, with the hope that someday the spring will come, and the flowers will bloom again in the garden. What is hope, ask the blue bird pair in early spring, they work diligently to bring every twig and grass, to build their nest in the corner nook of my house, I see the hope in the eyes of this lovely pair, They are dreaming of a happy home for their family. What is hope, ask a lonesome soul, When the uncertainties linger around in mind, hope is the only refuge to calm our fears, When the loneliness sends one in depression, the hope of a companionship overshadows the despair. What is hope, ask a human being, our life is a sand castle of hope on a sandy beach, with the lingering fear of drowning in occasional high tide, our destiny, our future, and our own survival, hangs around the magical hope, the hope that is the eternal inspiration.

Dear Jay, your remarkable insight and masterful imagery artfully conveyed your ideas. The elixir of life is hope, and your poem with its magnificent metaphors, particularly the final stanza, is quite impressive.

Hope is the last straw to clutch at for one drowning in misfortune. It gives the zest to live on in adversities. A beautifully composed poem, dear friend.
