Hope is not as Hope is:

Emily Dickinson said it so much better

Hope is not a memorial set up in the square 

Nor a silver stallion with a sunrise backdrop

Not a complicated song with rhyming lines

No finished story with a fully complete plot.

Hope is the end for an unanswered question

A word here and there needing clear synopsis 

An unrealized dream one image upon another 

A memory awakened from forgotten time line.

Indeed it is. The last bastion to be scaled, that glimmer that might be a fish, a held breath, a desire too strong to die. Loved the poem my friend it speaks in undying echoes.

[John the Baptist]

I think hope always contains an aura of uncertainty, as opposed to faith, which is "the substance of things hoped for." Hope is the fanner of the flame that keeps faith alive.

yes absolutely - exactly what I was poking a stick at - hope is "an aura of uncertainty" a flickering candle not a burning sun. -carl

[Lorry]

Hope is a movie, or a book or a chapter of your life finishing with the words "to be continued" instead of "the end"
😀

that which enables us to continue turning the pages, thanks for the read and review -carl
