What is hope?
For some it is the reassurance in their partner’s eyes
For others it is the smile on their child’s face
For some it is the ringing of bells at morning prayer
For others it is the meal they share after a day of fasting
For some it is their ever changing calendar
For others it is the stagnation of their routine
For some it is the power of the stars and planets
For others it is the resilience that comes from within
For some it is the faith in a better future
For others it is the memory of a beautiful past
For some it is the birth of a new life
For others it is the acceptance of death
But what really is hope?
Perhaps it is just an idea that keeps us going…
Live Your Dreams 24/7 
Beautiful ❤️

Very thoughtful. ‘faith for a better future’ – yes, every time that I see young people demanding action I feel there is hope we will have a generation that values our planet and values other humans differently.

SMiLes Dear Yamini A Wonderful Poetic Description
Of How Different People Or One Person Might Experience
A Spectrum of Hope in LiFE Or LiGHT Or Love Or Faith Yes
Belief
As True Hope
is A Spark Deep
Within A Synergy
of Feelings Senses
Yes Emotions a Beginning
of Change for A New Chapter Of
Our Life Stories Yet True All Words
Are Only Abstract Constructs Yes Symbols
Yes Forms That We Co-Create to Mutually and
Consensually Do Our Best to Give, Share, Care,
And Heal With The Essence of Our Experiences of Life
The Art The Poetry the Painting of Hope is As Limitless as
Human iMaGiNaTioN And Creativity in All We Co-Create of Life
Yet It’s True
There are Limits
As That Applies to
Nature and Nurture too
For Where is Hope Where is Faith
Where is Love And Belief in a Greater
Story of Life For the Child the Teen the Adult
And Elder Neglected And Abused in Life For Those
of Us Who Have
Crawled in the DarK
Nights, Months and Years
of the Soul Barely Able to Move
At All With Loss of All the Spark
And Flame Within True Once
Again RiSinG Out of those
Ashes Truly Becoming
Naked Enough Whole
Complete Indeed A
Place Where All
That’s Left
is to Spark
Hope in Someone else…
SMiLes my FRiEnD An Air Force Psychiatrist
Who Specialized in Combat Fatigue Once Said
i Was His Most ‘Hopeless’ Case oF All in Fact although
the Insurance Wouldn’t Cover it He Wanted to Implant
A Vagal Nerve Stimulator in my Chest For A Medical
Hope i Would Be Able to Feel Anything At All of Being
Truly Human Then So How Did i Bring my Dead Christmas
Tree to Life How Did i Color The Dried Up Branches into A Never
Ending Colorful Newer Tree of Life True Poetry Provides a Way True
Free Dance Does And Other Arts too When A Flame Within is Kindled
Again Otherwise
All That May Truly Be
Left is Numb to Feel
Where Pain May Be
An Only Alternative to Feel
At All In Life Just Through the
Adrenaline and Dopamine Pain Brings
This Explains A lot Why Some folks May Be
Led Mostly Through Fear, Anger, And Hate and
Others Drive Their Stories Forward with Hope, Love,
Faith, And Belief That Carries them Higher instead of Lower
Indeed the Ideologies are the Frameworks and Values of Life
Experiences That Separate DarK From LiGHT Yet Again Without
The Nature
And Nurture
of the Flame Within
All May Grow Cold and
Living Trees May No Longer Color Life..:)
