Incantations of Hope
Micro-poems to sustain our spirit. Series 1.
Dear Reader,
The power of the right words dispersed when we most need them should not be taken for granted. They can become the catalyst moving from a state of despondency to one of joy and purpose. They can be a balm to begin healing, and a path to gentle and loving emotional, spiritual, and mental self-examination. Perhaps most precious of all, they can be the renewal of hope in something we believed was lost forever.
My fervent wish is that these poems gifted to us by these generous writers restore the hope we need to take one step, and then the next, and courageously go on.

Hope and C
I hope to see hope turn her eyes on letter C to center herself then she may navigate seas swim with kelp and anchovy

Author’s Note: This tanka may be read in reverse from the last line up, and also, the lines may be read in any other random order.
If I’m nothing, then I’m something. I can be anything, or a bit of everything. I’m free, without strings. Are you listening? Go forth and find your wings.

Hope ignites a light Like candle’s flame To melt sad embers. It revives life’s faith From its chasm To contented bliss.
