A tsunami of hope is coming<\/strong>
\nAre you preparing such a weigh?<\/strong>
\nWill you be caught looking<\/strong>
\nThrough shot glasses<\/strong>
\nOnly to be decked out with eyedroppers<\/strong>
\nFor blood shot eyes, those cynical vanes<\/strong>
\nIll quipped to see arose<\/strong>
\nAs a master of heavy arts<\/strong>
\nUprooted by a juggernaut of serendipity<\/strong>
\nLeaving ewe to find won self<\/strong>
\nOar reel state underwater<\/strong>
\nIn the bust of surf and turf<\/strong>
\nAs well sculpted ideologies<\/strong>
\nServe up anchors and chains<\/strong>
\nIn efface of assail boat<\/strong>
\nOccupying the same<\/strong>
\nRegardless of weather titanic cap size<\/strong>
\nKicking buckets down the road<\/strong>
\nAs if<\/strong>
\nAwe is to be fathomed<\/strong>
\nOnly too arrive<\/strong>
\nMore than any won dare expected<\/strong>
\nEven as some specious of large-mouthed perch<\/strong>
\nWill settle<\/strong>
\nJust enough<\/strong>
\nToo fill one’s lunge<\/strong>
\nIn a whirled turned<\/strong>
\nUpside down<\/strong>
\nAs big fish in a bigger pond<\/strong>
\nAnd still<\/strong>
\nHope floats<\/strong>
\nNot even holding water<\/strong>
\nA parent as sow much hot air<\/strong>
\nAs a cloud to water<\/strong>
\nThe sores of life cleansing<\/strong>
\nBound to witness new arisings<\/strong>
\nFrom such a gossamer point of you<\/strong>
\nNot to be governed by stars<\/strong>
\nReturning only amor<\/strong>
\nGentle reign on earth<\/strong><\/p>\n

This poem addresses head on and heart on one of my favorite themes: hope.\u00a0 Cynicism is easy. Hope is often somewhat more elusive.\u00a0 Courage, enthusiasm, and an open heart are prerequisites for hope to flourish.\u00a0 Change is happening awe the time.\u00a0 Do you see it?\u00a0 Don’t get caught looking through shot glasses or nurturing any of the many chronic dis-eases characterized buy the hardening of the attitudes.\u00a0 Love is skulking about working its way into the seemingly hermetically sealed hearts of the ignorant and perversely-incentivized, and when the time is right, love will flood the vacuum in such vacant souls.\u00a0 Things will suck in anew weigh for those not paying attention in tuition of life as a topsy-turvy whirled writes itself a new future.\u00a0 Feel free to spice up your life\u00a0with such advent seasoning…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
