Hope


Too small for U. S. Cents,

Too rare to be in historical museum,

Too heavy to make sense,

Too abstract to dwell in the hands of the child.

.

A shooting star soars cross the sky,

A spark flashes through the squeezing rocks,

A lightening flies by,

A basket of wool to make warm socks.

.

All promises freeze like ice,

All greetings ring like bells.

All gamblers focus on the dice,

All smiles ripple under the spells.

.

Hides behind the time that flies,

Dances in the hands that knit ties.

Hope is like the invisible air,

It makes stirs everywhere….

I loved your perceptive view of hope which is one of the most valuable attributes we have. You analogy of hope being a spark that squeezes through rocks is inspired.

Thanks for your visit Jingle.

"Too abstract to dwell in the hands of the child". Yes we do make those judgments. An adult asks who and why, but a child is content with "Wow!"
Jingle, you are a child still, observing in wonder. Lovely.

Poems about hope are precious to me - so fragile, intangible, and essential. I like your knitting images especially, the basket of wool and the knitting of ties. Even though I'm not a knitter in 3D I feel like I spend much of my life knitting ties to connect people - and hope they will hold.
