CHANGE OF ART


Hope is not a burden –
And love is not a snare –
And faith is not a fantasy –
The Fountain springs by prayer.

The Road is not a net –
The Path is not a trap –
The Way is not a wilderness –
Press forward – don’t look back.

The Tree is not a yoke –
The Fruit is not a ploy –
The Branch is not a broken bough –
Please, come – reach out for Joy.

Hi Cynthia,
I found your blog through Doug, P Backer....hope you don't mind I stopped by to leave a comment. I've just read a few of your poems here and they are refreshingly wonderful! I love your views in here...no burden is hope, don't compare love to a snare, and my favorite line in here: faith is not a fantasy! whew...how do you explain that to the non believers? That is a great line. I also love: Press forward - don't look back.

Your writing is an inspiration!
