.hope Poem by Linda Moore

.hope

Rating: 2.8


Peaceful people of Peaceful ways
Bowed heads of sorrow and dismay
So many lost, lead astray
Humanity crumbles in decay

Yet! Hope still lives though battle weary
Wipes the sweat from eyes that still see clearly
Unrelenting, gives no ground
Hopes voice, a reverberating sound

On the right is Love, at the left stands Peace
They know the battle may never cease
Upright and strong, hands joined
Hope stands the middle, a phrase coined

(Love, Hope, Peace) skillful instruction
Will not let pass, the eve of destruction
The battle set, high on the hill
The journey there, a test of Will

Hope a flicker sprung out of ash
Love breaths air and fires flash
Peace carries it across the land
Evil thwarted of its plan

A horde stands at the hills crest
(Love, Hope, Peace) they can not best
Indomitable, a Mighty Three
Given the right, commanding evil to flee

A very optimistic poem, a need of the time. Love, Hope, Peace...a concept of Trinity. Hope a flicker sprung out of ash, what a beautiful line Linda!

Bursting with beauty. A battle is not usually seen as beautiful but your pen has painted a very picturesque picture here. Keep it up!

Very well written poem, the subject is terrific. I have always felt the anyone can write down their thoughts, but it takes a true Poet to write them down and have them rhyme. The rhythem of your poetry is God given. I enjoyed reading and will continue to read them as time permits. Thanks Lynn
