Benevolence

Just my thoughts

Hope

Hope oh hope

how much I try to keep you close to me

a special space you have in my life

when all things look bleak

I grab on to you oh hope

where hope is

is where god is

filling it with his light

that glows from the faces of men

only the ones that have hope

hope cleans away despair

filling the mind with positive images

hope oh hope

how at times I am addicted  to you

keeping me on my toes

keeping me alive ….

Nothing in this life can be as bad as hellfire , so technically we can get through ANYTHING that gods destiny chooses to throw at us .Each and every mistake we make is technically not a mistake , they make us who we are , we choose to be the way we are like it or not . We can self pity ourselves if we want , but the reality is that is not going to get you anywhere . The realization of having this deeper strength within all of us is amazing , their is a higher self within all of us that screams out to do good and control ourselves . God truly knew best when he created man , gave us capability’s that we often forget we have , or perhaps never realized it is their . Then when it is found you never want to go back to your old ways .

  So whenever you go through a bad moment in  your life , reflect and ask god what is it that he wants me to learn from this? self pity ? I doubt it very much , when you start seeing the lessons in the test of life , thats when you start to chill out a little more . To the point that you can cope with almost anything that destiny wants to throw at you .

Beautiful poem… It’s something I would keep and read in certain moments.
But all the imagery there makes the mention of God in the middle of it look random. Somehow I don’t see the metaphors related to anything related to God. Is this on purpose?

eleiva – I dont write with things like that in my mind , my poetic words just come from the way I feel , god is my hope if their is no god then I would not have hope , that is why he is in the poem . The imagery is just what I do every day I imagine myself out of situations in a positive way . By the way I have not done english , but will be starting a course next year .

Hope is such a thing truly which helps us survive, Without Hope its more than impossible to move on and cope up with life.
There are some times though when we see our hope dying, but thats the worst thing we can do ourselves. Never should be let our hope to diminish, And always should keep our faith and hope alive, for Allah never tests us for just fun, There is always a reason behind it, which the human minds seldom understands.

I understand… I meant that as a reader who has no idea of your actual internal thinking the mention of God seems random (unrelated to the rest of the poem).

And never forget: “God NEVER burdens a soul beyond its means….” :)
