When All That's Left Is Hope Poem by David Wood

When All That's Left Is Hope

Rating: 5.0


This life has become dark like winter,
With howling wind and torrential rain.
Cold thoughts cling to yesterday's
Dreams, now shattered into hundreds
Of windswept battered dreary pieces,
That faded hope has now all but gone.

But it was hope that was all that's left in
Pandora's box. It was hope that gently
mended inflicted wounds and slowly,
As gentle rays of sunlight piercing
Through those dark forbidding clouds,
Restored this sad wretched faded life.

What is left is HOPE. But hope will take us forward, for sure. Finding positivity in times severe setbacks is a great state of mind! Reminds me of Bhagawat Gita, which I have repeated often

So true to life and heart. This is a wonderful poem for hope it does renew. The Pandora myth still present will guide us thru.
