"Hope"

When people write poetry they pray

and light shines forth like a fire

We say to ourselves, how am I going to do this?

When we attempt achievement naturally --

for greatness was never won easily!

The sound of syllables

is an echo within the heart residing in inner peace and hope

which is in the effort; the victory is God's

and when one watches the wind worrying the water

or tousling the trees, a Poet cannot help but feel

The Love of God!
