Hope

Where are you now?

Why all the tears?

Don't let the dark 

awaken false fears.

he's only sleeping 

Lay down and rest.

Your journey is still long.

It's not time yet 

for your last swan song.

you'll meet again

Night falls too hard?

Fill your soul

with hope from the light of the stars.

You're not on your own.

he will be waiting.

Sail forth again

A new dawn's breaking

it comes to show you the way

Is your heart still aching?

he's holding your hand

What do you see

over the glimmering ocean?

A distant shore,

new  life on a far horizon.

he's smiling on you.

i love the way in which you tantalize with images and references in this, and it makes me want to sit at my notebook and create. good effort, big strides for a second effort. you do have it within you and you spill the beans nicely! keep it up, please...

This is so beautifully bittersweet... that longing for security.. the love that will be there always.. You let us all know that the journey is not easy, but we must believe.. we must keep on. I need to know that...

Beautiful poem you have written. You must have a strong hold of your faith.

I found it beautiful and relaxing! I think its kinda unique more than weird! You've painted a amazing picture in front of the readers, and its so soft and gentle... An amazing scene you bought!
Nice written!
