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)
Esther the slightest spark can reignite what is always there.After the darkness of night comes the clear light of another day. Sid John.
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
i liked this a lot with its strangling feeling of depression..this is deep with meaning also
Another deep one, Esther, but graphically to the point, without any unnecessary 'tarting up'. I like this a lot :) Hugz jack :)
