I heard a bird sing out the word:
Hope! Hope! Hope!
A butterfly I saw confide:
Hope! Hope! Hope!
I smelled the flowers pure and sweet
And ate the fruit from giving trees.
I touch the Word; I’m seen and heard:
Hope! Hope! Hope!

So beautiful, Crystal. I can hear it echoing.
With such lovely nature hope comes natural
Nature is filled with hope each and every day.
Very inspiring. I like the repetitive nature of it- like a chorus.
May it be so !!!!
I think the whole world is in this poem! Butterfly, confide! The heartbeat hope hope hope, you really exemplify the feeling of it. And I like the nod to Shel.
Nice song in praise of hope.
Yes, when all seems dark, we can look about us and find the promise of hope everywhere. Thanks for reminding us!
So incarnational! and the repetition of hope, like a mantra or a refrain! Wonderful!
Thanks for this inspiring, hopeful poem!
