Hope














Hope is a drop of water
Trembling at the tip of a dry leaf.
A grain of sugar undissolved
On the rim of an empty cup.
It is a paper windmill
On a still day
A grain of sand
On the edge of a boat forgotten
Waiting for the pounding of wind tossed waves
The throb of a raging storm at sea
Life's not over till hope departs.
