Hope

Streams of silence
Broken by that hollow log
Hope they called it
Floating down the stream

A moment too late
Or a moment too soon?
Time stood; bated
Hope they called it
Hollow; Clutching
With you
Floating down the stream

Away; without much ado
Holding it dear; Sometimes
Underwater you go
Yet afraid of letting the hollow go;
Uncertain you head
Hope they called it
Floating down the stream of silence.

  1. what a description of our relationship with hope!! "clutching","holding" and "afraid of letting the hollow go" signify the inevitable fear that inextricably binds us with hope. My favourite words(for my obsession with irony)in it : "Sometimes underwater you go yet afraid of letting the hollow go..."
