Here is an Ode I wrote:

An Ode To Hope

Hope,

Drop by Drop

you fill

my heart

with comfort,

making my glass

half full.

Like a shooting star,

you glimmer-

a light in the darkness.

Ever changing,

Ever fleeting,

Ever returning.

Hopre,

You make your bed

in the song of the morning dove

carried by

the wind,

drifting into my senses.

Hope,

you life the voices

of the downtrodden

into the voices of the courageous

and the resolute.

Hope,

emanating from within

the depth of sorrow,

like ripples on a dark pond,

You fill my soul with understanding.
