Donny Ingraham Poet ABC

Never Spoken

Some of the strongest words 
are never spoken. Yet we look 
for another to teach them. 
While hope remains within, 
many fail to allow chance an 
opportunity. People profess to 
have faith, but their faith turns 
to drugs and dispair during 
trials. We hope to excel but are 
afraid to try. Success only 
comes after failure. Lies are 
only known to lies when the 
truth comes to light.

Wendy Meyer October 19, 2013 at 3:27 AM i so believe an opposition in all things is ever present always...faith against doubt...success against failure...lies against truth...despair against hope...light against darkness...this piece can remind us of the importance of right choices as we sail against the difficult tides of times... Wendy Meyer October 19, 2013 at 3:36 AM to add, your fourth line says about stifled hope...it's true that sometimes hope is the only thing one has to be able to soar to heights and realize potential..so, let's plant seed of hope and let it grow, instead of extinguishing it to death...
