A Taste of Hope

There is nothing
quite like
the smell of hope
is there darling ..
Indeed,
if it had a taste,
I do believe
it would be yellow
and always
wear a magnificent
sideways, stoic smile ..

Hello Neville...

When you refer to stoic smile...

Are you thinking of the pain and hardship this person has endured  or the prophetic side?

​​​​​​Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

I am glad you wondered thus .. and even more delighted that you considered two distinct possibilities .. I like them both and of course both would fit but the prophetic anticipatory example is most closely aligned with what I had in mind at the time .. closely followed by your pain, hardship example ..
