“They make me want to take a walk while hope runs ahead, along the seashore. I will keep walking in her direction.”

I love that image!

Thank you for sharing your collection of poems. I’ve been feeling hope-haunted too.

Happy Birthday, Megan!!!

My problem with hope comes when I tie it to expectation.
