Light of Hopes (A Poem)
Morning light
It breaks the mist,
As I walk ahead,
My neck – sun-kissed;
Yesterdays clearing
Like the mist around,
A fleeting moment,
Hope surrounds;
A new day dawns,
And I walk ahead;
With sun-kissed hope,
And self-doubt shed.
As part of our resolution to write more poetry in 2018, Reema and I have started this weekly prompt we’ve decided to call as Wednesday Verses.

Write on your blogs, and link up with #WednesdayVerses. We are happy to have you rhyme with us. Welcome!
Prompt #2 is “LIGHT”

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
A positive poem filled with optimism and anticipation for the future. When we get rid of our inner critic, we charge full-steam ahead. May the new day always shine bright for all.
Yes. That inner-critic is obstinate at times, doesn’t let go. 🙂 Once it does, there is the warmth of hope. Thank you, Sulekha.
Hope: a wonderful way to start your day.

Absolutely, Anna. Thanks!
I love the image of “sun-kissed hope”.. 🙂 we need that badly in difficult and dire times like these. Beautifully rendered.
Oh yes. When the mist is cool, the warmth of the sun kissing the neck is just wonderful, Sanaa. 🙂 Thank you.
What a hopeful poem this is! I’m inspired to try my hand at some prose poetry too. 🙂

Amen to the self-doubts being shed. Beautiful poem.

Lovely words. Shedding self doubt is so difficult at times.
