Poets United prompt #40, this week is Hope. Hope for Japan, our world, as we see life shift and wonder what is in store for their nation, our country, and the World! My thoughts n' prayers to all affected by this tragedy and other disasters!
Crumbled black soil remains
through veil of fine mist
Heaven's precious tears
Sacred breath remains
as one climbs past sorrow
pearls of Seventh house still in view
when a child smiles
awakens inner garden of Faith
precious seeds plant new dreams
root fibers spread like an open hand
Hunger drinks optimism, partakes of enriched soil
proud stems rigid in torrent downpour
Soul's whisper awakens rooted, not rotted faith
shoots unfurl, tendrils reach upward carrying
compost memories of ancestor's blood, sweat n' tears
Prana awakens heart's sense
listen to deep whispers
transparent wings appear
potential life, still green inside
mysterious gifts extend firmly planted beliefs
Grace grows in fertile mind.

words to lift our souls...give back the hope that was until then been buried under the weight of disaster..
Nice ella ~
Your words give a sense of hope in so many ways.
Out of all that can be dark and beyond hope, even the weakest situation, can be revived.
Best wishes, Eileen
