Hope may seem
A fragile thing,
Until you truly
Until you truly
Hear it sing.
It hums beneath
All ache and fear,
A voice your spirit
A voice your spirit
Learns to hear.
It blooms
Where tears
Have touched
The ground,
Of mercy woven,
Of mercy woven,
Soft, profound.
Once you've felt
Its steady flame,
You’ll never walk
You’ll never walk
Through darkness
The same.
Hope may seem
A fragile thing,
Until you hear
Until you hear
Its shoreline sing.
Rising with
The breathing tide,
A quiet strength
A quiet strength
You'll find inside.

The earth is resting,
and I am in need of rest, too.
In winter, I feel at home in
the silences of the world.

The beach photo is nice, and I love the moth photo.
Pixie wonders who that cat is.
Hope eternally lights the way. Beautiful thoughts and photos, Cloudia!
Speaking of hope, I HOPE you have a good weekend.
Beautiful words! TFS!
Marvelous visuals and wonderful words!
Listening to Paul Anka did take me back to my teen years! So glad you wrote about hope. Pats to Pixie!
Your words comfort us all, Cloudia. ;-)
Love your paean to hope and the other quotes. Pixie looks glorious today, as does your little black cat for the 13th :)
Beautiful words!
Hello Cloudia,
Lovely photos and words.
The kitty and Pixie are cuties.
Love the butterfly and the cute doggie too.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Such a gorgeous butterfly. Visiting from Saturdays Critters.
I enjoyed the whole post, but the beach photo was the best thing I've seen on my gloomy, cold day.
Wow! I wish we had beaches like that. Your writings are so good, Cloudia. That butterfly is amazing too. Have a nice day today.
such adorable critters and the butterfly is so pretty. i enjoy the beach more during the winter, i find walks on the winter walks on the beach very relaxing!!!!
...yes, winter is a time of rest.
I appreciate the warmth in the first photo. Single digits here :(
These reflections and poems beautifully celebrate the quiet power of hope, the inner light we each carry, and the simple yet profound art of truly listening to others
Aloha Cloudia and Pixie too, thank you for the beach view, it's so warming to see. Wise quotes and brings the speak less and listen more to mind as well as paying attention to everything, so very wise. Love to you and sweet-faced Pixie is a joy as animals have the best of expressions.
Wonderful photos,
I really liked your poem!
You always give us a positive push for good!!
I missed your posts my friend.
Claudia, have a beautiful Sunday!!
