Despair Poem by Esther Leclerc

Despair

Rating: 5.0


hope dies hard, it is said
always I agreed
knowing this truth for myself
but
comes a point in the
scheme of things when
the strangling is complete
and so
hope expires because the
subject herself is dead
whether she breathes or
not is beside the point


(7.5.06 - Live on in hope, Little Spirit)

Sometimes it seems when we lose our sense of hope it does feel as though we are now dead. I've been there and you've described it so well.

Dear Esther, This one is so sad, so final... And yet... Not completely gone, I suspect. I hope I'm right. Love, Allie XXXX

Another deep one, Esther, but graphically to the point, without any unnecessary 'tarting up'. I like this a lot :) Hugz jack :)
