Poem: Hope Between Breaths
The greatest hope that we keep is the interval between two breaths. We always hope we can inhale next and that is what life is all about.
Poem: HOPE BETWEEN BREATHS
Hope is my life’s companion
That lingers between each breath’s space
Unseen, taken for granted, resilient
A silent faith that graces our lives.
In the rhythm of inhales and exhales,
Hope weaves its delicate strings
An unseen bridge to an uncertain future,
A testimony to the resilience that life springs from.
In the dance of breaths, a mystery unfolds,
For in the space between, hope takes hold.
Unaware of the final exhale’s quiet decree,
It’s with this that our spirits wander free.
We shall never discern our last breath,
As it quietly surrenders to the eternity of death.
With silent hope, we find solace in this earth
A timeless companion from the moment of birth.
