poem challenge: Hope
wings of fire's picture
wings of fire

The same new world

I hope
I want a world with
no
violonce
I hope
we
can 
do
 that
I hope that people can see the light
instead
of
the 
dark
I hope that our
wonderful
world
can be as wonderful
as 
I 
see 
it

sprouted

Perhaps we've been here before

I hope, too.

I wonder, though
sometimes
whether it is just
that we hear about it more –
the violence
the calamities
the impending doom –
when actually
it's just about the same
as it's always been
and we lead our lives
in quiet contemplation
of the wonder
the light
the hope
that we feel each day.

    I was intending just to tell you how much I liked this poem, but a sprout came out instead. As I consider a sprout the highest form of affirmation, you should feel good about your poem. Well done.
