Hope I See...: Sensing a Saviour, #2

By Melissa Brown

Can Hope be seen in this world?

Can poetry unveil Hope to the human heart, making the invisible visible?

…words like watercolors

    cascading across the page,

    shaded tones of nuance

    and perspective crafted

    by imagery hawking its wares,

    spirit and life expressed

    with no less grace than

    a prima ballerina on stage,

    perfect poems paint portraits

    but in terms and tears

    soaking the page,

    in rage, in love, in passion, in power,

    in poetry!

Come take a look inside and see the wonders of Hope…

Hope I See...

They say it can literally

save your life.

From a POW

to a child stolen,

how do people survive

the worst life dishes out?

Darkness pervades,

invades every corner

and stays,

hovering, then covering up

the Light.

Shadows grow long as it moves 

in, this murky minion

meant to maul us with its malice.

But...so many survive.

They are revived,

made alive

by One thing,

One who brings His power

in play.

The One shines,

defines perfection,

realigns our needs,

designs our good.

This one thing remains

in the deep aching, quaking darkness.

Millions have lived to tell,

dispel the myths,

share gospel Truth.

No fantasy,

but reality.

Powers of evil soar,

but One bore it all on Himself.

Weakness wants to win.

The body bends, and

spirits feel spun out of control.

But...

is it true? what they say?

can it literally save your life?

save my life?

soul sinking in sorrow?

Tomorrow may be the day!

Look up!

It's Him, our Hope I see!

A Promise

color follows clouds,

shine shimmers through

prisms,

storm has driven through,

only dripping remnants remain,

yet the burgeoning light

reveals the very dictates

of a Mighty God,

an intended control of will,

a presentation of promise,

this presentation of visible hues

remind of coming
