Hope

Hope

Hiking through the dark, watchful woods all night
Looking for any star that’s bright
Not a single living soul in sight
Only creepy, crawly critters in the shadows to my left and right
Imagine my plight
Eyes wide open, intently praying with all my might
And to my great delight
In spite
Of my overwhelming fright
Finally saw a faint streak of light
Up ahead – peeking in – a welcoming daylight!

PANDITA, Congratulations, . I hope you don't mind your placement in my contest. Out of past experience, I know many don't like when I don't have a first or second placement. However, this is my judgment, and it only feels right, to place each poem, in the order I would have, as if there had been a first or second placement. Believe me, I'm not taking from you or your winning poem. Hugs, and enjoy my blog, "Conundrum" if you'd like. Have yourself a sweet day. ...always Linda

Hi Pandita, Life certainly has moments of fright, filled with "creepy, crawly critters." Your poem astutely notes that prayer and hope will help us survive these dark moments by finding the light. Awesome! Best wishes, Carolyn
