In Which We Start Anew: Word of the Day: Hope

I saw a butterfly in the sky from a memory a tear came to my eye through transcendence it had arrived it wasn’t in any way contrived our oneness with loved ones passed will always last the truth is no longer masked we are one the die is cast life is good when understood through the Light nothing can hide from it not even night I love the life we share in this incarnation I’m grateful to have been born in this nation hear my voice it’s freedom of voice that has peeked our imagination allowing the further development of this manifestation and yes, in this time of our greatest despair they’re people everywhere that are courageous and still care the hating must stop we need a correction our hope lies in moving in a new direction

Glad I could help a little, my friend. Times are hard right now, at least we don't have to walk through the Red Sea. Have a pleasant weekend, Gershon. Bill

Dear Bill, Your poem captures the essence of hope and resilience in times of despair. The presence of the butterfly symbolizes transformation and transcendence, showing us of the enduring connection with loved ones and the power of unity. Your words exude gratitude for life and freedom, change and move toward a brighter future. Very uplifting message of hope and courage. - Blessings, Daniel

Thank you again, Daniel, for the positive and uplifting words you share with us through your poetry and comments. In my humble opinion, humanity has become inhumane. We have turning from our Creator and the Love we've all been created to exude. We can, if it is within the will of God, turn this craziness around and experience a new world here on earth. One by one, we must change our hearts for selfishness to benevolence, our minds from hate to love, and our actions through the practice of the "Golden Rule". Have a great weekend! Bill

How deeply moving and thoughtful words woven here in such eloquence, and i love the quote youv shared too, as i am a strong believer of that too, its ok to have emotions. And in your poem what hit the strongest for me was “ life is good when understood through the Light nothing can hide from it not even night” how true! Light always will win eventually! Soulful poem this is. Always a pleasure reading your work. Sending you and sara light. I love your profile pic! Fave couple!

your words spoke to my soul this morning. They were filled with wisdom, Light, and gratitude. Freedom of voice is empowering and develops our manifestation (in this life). Hope lies in courageous folks who care, who promote kindness. Thanks for being kind. Thanks for sharing your words and rhymes in a flowing poem. Well done, hubby. hugs, Sara

I second your feelings of hope and positivity as an antedote to these trying sad times in your last stanza Bill. You’re so right, too, when you say: “ our oneness with loved ones passed will always last”. We learn to cope but never forget. Cheers - Gary

Wise words, my friend. the connection stays open, at least in the spirit. We place far too much emphasis on our physical relationships in life. Have a great weekend, Gary! Bill
