Just a little something I want to share

I wrote this the other day, after my serious bout of self doubt. I feel good enough about it that I want to share it with you all.

Hope

Hope

Leads me on.

Her elusive laughter

Echoes through the trees.

Somewhere far ahead

Just around the bend.

Tantalizing, her voice calls

“Follow me.”

“I will lead you to

A wonderful place

Full of light and love.

All that you need is waiting

For you there.

Somewhere far ahead

Just around the bend.”

I try to keep up

Catching her is futile

She moves like the wind.

I am earthbound,

Tripping over roots

Face down in the mud beside the brook.

Across the water

I see her wet footprints

On the rocks.

I rise and follow

Catch a glimpse of wings

Flitting above.

I will not give up

Following my heart

And hope.

That is beautiful. I would like your permission to print that out and put it on my frig. I think many of us feel like that. Some of us more then others, but your words will help me. Thanks again for sharing.

Little,

What a lovely poem. Today is the first day I've pulled my head out of the sand and looked around. Your poem spoke volumes to me. Thank you so much for sharing. I plan to print it off and keep a copy in my journal. And oooh the name Margo, I like it a lot!

Thank you all! I don't feel talented, I just started writing again after years of neglect, so feel very rusty. Please feel free to print it out and put it on your fridge or in your journal. Someday I would like to do something worthy of being published.
