A Blaze of Hope


Hope

A blazing fire within my soul

Motivating me further

Inspiring dreams 

Creating purpose

Hope

Keeps my soul from withering

Like a flower denied rain

I am nourished as long as 

Hope is ablaze

Hope 

Must be constantly tended to

As a mother tends to her baby

Or as a man tends to his fire

For if it were to extinguish

Ideas then fade into nothingness

Motivation is lost 

Dreams, valuable dreams, die in the mind of the hopeless

May hope never falter so greatly that it disappears completely

For the mind is at its greatest potential

When hope is ablaze
