Poetry Friday: Hope

January 15, 2010 at 8:07 am 3 comments

This is a week for hope. May many find it and keep it aloft.

“Hope” is the thing with feathers - Emily Dickinson

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops – at all -

And sweetest – in the Gale – is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

(…read the rest here).
