New Hope
When hope is undone, the world just seems wrong,
can’t allow hate a voice within this throng.
Turn your back as a sword covers the pen,
won’t take my will to write, not even then.
Advice from the wise, throw hope a life-line.
Feathered hope, Emily wrote in her time;
a way through is hope, according to Frost,
or Yeats’ daughter of hope when all seems lost.
Remain alive, your hope must rise supreme,
Poe described as “A Dream within a Dream”.
One path followed, even one less traveled,
hopelessness must fade, its cause unraveled.
Remember your voice, when choices are found,
Mem’ries of joy now, let new hope resound.
