From whence a flicker~ sparks
Where there's breath
there's hope
teetering amidst
unconventional
and the enormity
of where decisions
are decided
Being one's own
biggest advocate
unleashing
locked away bravery
Making sure
to openly exist
shrouded in courage
Letting go...
of internal nagging
setting free
the true version
I have always seen
replaying
in my mind's eye
Breathing in promise
exhaling deep—
animated fear
Grasping hard, at today
at every day
clinging
fully
with both hands
and never
letting go.
Author's Note
Inspired by the idea of never saying never... which was sparked by reading another poem, earlier this morning—

Just beautiful, a lovely write from a lovely poet
Beautiful read. Never say never how true
Where there's life there's hope it would seem
Love and light

Awww.... Danke, mein freund!
Well, it's you who's a bright spot, when I'm reading your tender side! I couldn't shake the notion of hope surviving, once I read your spill, so I had to write out something... lol ... I am so grateful you enjoyed reading what your poem and comments inspired.... I feel lucky and fortunate to have your support and encouragement... Thank you for the generous list add and all your loveliness, it's never taken lightly.
Much love from across the pond 🌊

Uplifting words indeed.
Each set of lines provides a different argument for optimism.
Independence and self-reliance shine through.
This is truly how I should feel on a good day.

Hey Sonneteer :)
Your comments and thoughtful insights make me feel like I was able to convey a portion of myself that's usually difficult for me to access, successfully. I am over the moon that you have identified with the inspiration and optimism woven within... I humbly thank you for reading and I deeply appreciate you taking the time to leave these sentiments.... I thrive on the connection and the motivation you inspire, in return.
Always a pleasure to see you 🦋

I think about the ideal vs the reality, which, I have come to believe, are both theoretical in their way.
I think that the reality, is what occurs, in between these things.
It is the process, I think... Never one or the other.
... but perhaps this is also, theoretical. haha.
This write made me think of the flux that exists between things, things that are also flux, perhaps.
also the personal interaction that we have in these sort of spaces.
Nicely done.
(I can feel your power.)

I can relate to the difficulty, absolutely.... I empathize, if you're speaking from your own truth, Tim.... Sometimes just trying, is also to be commended!!

I love this, Lady Blue💗 A truly healthy attitude towards life. This passage I especially like, "Making sure
to openly exist
shrouded in courage"
Bravissima beautiful BB🐻💞🐰

Once I reframed hope, I better grasped it's presence in my life. For me hope is not that something MAY happen, but rather, I have the power to make SOMETHING happen.
Well done, Blue.

Hey there, bk ...
Damn, you are so keenly astute!!!
For me, Its taken years to learn, what is a seemingly easy idea to grasp, (yet not for me.) Understanding and applying a healthy concept of hope, in my daily living. It was a hard lesson, indeed. (even STILL, I can struggle) So your words are extremely wise and very much appreciated.
I feel so fortunate to have you share your insightful life experiences.... I know it can't always be easy and I am sincerely grateful for your candor and openness...
Tons of hugs and kisses,

"Breathing in promise

I deeply appreciate your ability to highlight certain avenues of my emotional intent. It's wholly inspiring. I'm so delighted you could participate in the feelings I was hoping to be able to convey, (and relieved that I did!!!.... lol)
