Hope is reaching out ...

Do you believe it exists?
Hope is a Belief.
Hope is an Expectation.
An uninhibited feeling.
For someone or something
and
Such feelings of hope blossom,
Can flower and die.
Or sometimes last forever!
When younger...
Curiosity starts arousing us
We want out of the fences....
Seeking new adventures.
And risks of unknown consequences.
Thus, Life becomes a history
That we pen by our own choices.
We can stay bound by our chains...
The chains of not reaching out
Of living a life of darkness
And never seeing hope.
or
We can dream dreams of...
To become what we wish
And like the stars,
Our dreams of hope
Waiting to be unleashed...
Become our destiny...
and
Our own fairy tales...

    A fantastic write. I like how you have started this poem off with "Do you believe it exists?" It leaves the reader to answer it for themselves, and shows that you are not judging them if they don't believe. Congrats on the HM, thanks for your comments as well.

    really beautifully written. just one spelling (sorry) "seking" new adventures. otherwise hope is something we strive for. You ended so positively as well - almost an anticipation which was brilliant. well written

    I do believe in hope, and it can come from anywhere. This is really an extrordinary poem you have penned here. You thoughts are clear, and though provocking. I loved the metaphor of friendship being like a flower. I also loved the part about how me are our own chains, keeping us from living life. It's so true. Congrats on the HM! I truely enjoyed this poem, thanks for sharing.

    I am always a believer of hope....i really like this poem and the theme here; I especially love the lines "the chains of not reaching...and never seeing hope, the main innovator for all dreams." how well spoken! Thank you for commenting on my poem "life on the mobius strip."

    Yes indeed, as children our expression develop as we reach the point of taking the risk of letting others know.

    A simple kiss, through innocence... Have we really changed so much.... Nice memory! Nice insight into the poem. I enjoyed the read!!! GOOD job...

    P.S. DH~ I really love the way you put the words and the thoughts together in your work. You really have a special quality about you. *thumbsup*

    I really like it Glad you got something about stars in there, as such you have unwittingly picked up on a big idea in the cross-over so yay you.

    On another note...I don't mind you using my drawing as a background...but would you mind crediting me somewhere?
