Hope Springs Eternal

I know it's not Spring as such

But come December 21st 

The day's will be getting longer
not shorter

And Vampires hate that...

Budding, preening tendrils in winter sunshine
Flora grasping, creeping from terra firma
Standing breathless, dawn is a sapphire calyx 
Hope springs eternal...

the worn-out jerseys
    those mud-smeared pants
  visions of brightest glory 
    ~ heaps of bleakest misery

  yet hope springs eternal
    in the human breast
  next season begins anew 
    the coveted championship quest...

Love is a free spirit,
That is best suited to forgiving souls,
With deep rooted faith,
And in which hope springs eternal.

Mere flesh and bones by themselves,
Are seldom places, 
Where Love can make a home, 
Strong enough to keep envy and hate at bay....

Love is like a flower,
It will grow and live;
Beauty to the beholder
Its offering to give.
As it grows older,
Therein the problem lies;
Its beauty doth fade,
It withers and dies.
Yet remember always
In the mists of gloom;
Hope springs eternal,
A flower again may bloom....

Prob not a winning vision
tail-end baby boom ain't same
cushiness likely to crash
before there's 'nuff cash

us born 'tween six and seven
are social security
burdens on generations
beyond and unlearned

n'er the less we plant veggies
remembering those wedgies
of innocence unsung youth
hope springs eternal.

-  Train Whistle
Leaves are on the ground,
A North wind is picking up...
The train-whistle blows.

-  Reality
Is it for the dead?
How long do we have to stay...
Cold reality.

-  Hopeful
Hope springs eternal,
New ideas and new leaders...
Not much of a choice.

-  Tragedy
They are coming home,
Why do we keep forgetting...
What a tragedy.

...(Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer)...

Fame is overrated
More important  is the 
love of family and friends
One should never kill oneself 
going after money 
One should never kill oneself 
going after fame 
I boast about my poetic acheivements 
yet I probably won't win the Nobel Prize 
It would be nice 
It also might be nice 
to walk on the moon 
Doubt these things will happen 
But wait a minute - maybe these two things 
will happen 
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL...

“Hope springs eternal”
a wise elder said to me
I never forgot
a strong cornerstone of faith
hope is found when needed most

I did not “find God”
faith was always part of me
in good times or bad
faith allows us to feel love
even for those who are foes

love is amply strewn
by all who have hope and faith
the blessed trio
travel lifelong together
escort us to heaven’s gate

Sleep Away Thy Days Of Strife

Sleep away thy days of strife 
Dream once more of a better life
Hope springs eternal we’ve been told
But the wolves at the door grow more bold
Pray spring wilt end the winters glower
And return once more the flowery bower
That once with butterflies arrayed 
Now seem mostly gone on summer days
And nightingales rarely sing in the evening hour
So sleep away thy days of strife and 
Dream once more of a better life...

A dying humanity,
Broken minds and souls.
Steeped with profanity,
And ill-gotten goals.

Some stuck on stupid,
From tales of the past.
No modern day Cupid,
Can make your love last.

Blood, slings, and arrows,
Are cast to and fro.
Our sympathy narrows,
While hostilities grow.

A barrage sown with hate,
No one can defend.
We soon tempt our fate,
With an uncertain end.

Lest hope springs eternal,
We're destined to fall.
Just another sad journal,
And the death of us all....
