Trust your heart to see
you through stormy gales
Be not wise in times
of frustration or distress
Rather seek out a friend
to advocate your cause
for in the end no one
desires to be isolated
or alone
Align yourself in truth
regardless the opposition
for deceit is beguiling
to even your own heart
Believe in something or
someone greater than you
Leave an open door for
the impossible to occur
for nothing is ever as
it seems in this life

Wise-Wonderful-Profound...
Sublime lines that plant seeds of Doers and etch Courage on the rainbow of freedom... "Droplets of Hope!" becomes a huge diamond on the diadem of the soul.
I have enjoyed the reading of "Droplets of Hope!" a flower from the garden of a true Poet to feed the bees of the readers' minds.
In gratitude and admiration,
Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

You know, life is hard. You been around long enough to notice that? But it’s hardest when you’ve reached the end of your rope. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s even harder when someone or something cuts that rope and there’s nothing left to hang on to at all. And you find yourself in a free fall. Though maybe even the angst and disorientation of an untethered free fall isn’t the hardest. Maybe the hardest is when you finally land at the bottom. When you finally hit, kerplop, the unforgiving floor of your own personal existential Pit, and just lay there in a crumpled, despairing heap. There aren’t really words for that place, there at the bottom of the pit, because there’s no air there. No breath. No oxygen, even if there were the will to draw a breath. which there isn’t. And certainly, down there in the deep darkness, there is no conversation partner. Not even God.No light, no life, no hope, no company; that’s how it is once you’ve hit bottom. Once you’ve hit the pits, you’re alone. And dead. And done. Finished, though hardly complete. Just… done.
