A New Story Of Hope Poem by Doris Cornago

A New Story Of Hope



Through the days, my eyes have seen all
Dreams come true, some in perdition
The foolish pride of men revealed
Lives lost, picked from twigs
Ashes scattered by the wind
Through them, all remains
The fervent heart
Of a child
Hoping
For
Goodness
Forevermore
A fairytale, you
May say, yet the story
Of goodness of humanity
Kept me on through the darkness
Made me strong even in dire weakness
Everywhere I look there is a new story of hope

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Three decades of existence do not go to waste but goes into an encyclopedia of knowledge, both of the good and bad in humanity. I could say of these three decades, comparing the bad experiences with the good, that life is generally good with humans as generally good. It's the discovery of goodness in the most unlikely places and unlikely persons which kept me on, not only in survival mode, but in a loving mood and hopeful for the best.

What does not kill you makes you strong, so don't resist challenges in life.

Do you see anything in dark soil with wilted plants - yes, you do as you see the orange-y setting sun in all its glory as contrasted with the stark foreground. This is how our life's dark moments serve us - make us more aware of precious moments in between.

Serendipity is my favorite pastime. It keeps me on my toes and has given me the best years of my life.
