This is the crux of people's hope and how it ever glows. It can weather anything. Sometimes it does hide among the darkness for a while. But it surfaces and we can move on. Well expressed.

Hello :)
It's sometimes hard to focus on hope when there's so much chaos obstructing our vision.
This is a well presented 5-7-5 poem.
I enjoyed your star metaphor and wish you good luck in the voting booth.
Best wishes, Debra :)

This is so true. The wise man, King Solomonsaid: Expectation postponed makes the heart sick . ( Ecclesiastes 13:12) But if we put on the hope of salvation as a helmet, it will protect us from doubt. ( see 1 Thessalonians 5:8)
