INHALE

A Poem about Hope

INHALE

Inhale,

The eluding fragrances of daffodils,
they mask my face with simplistic arrays of spring days.
Through swirls of brown sand,

Handmade castles of a childhood dream,
 alone with the beating of a blue-green sea. 
Smooth wave’s crash against broken rock.
The sound of my past, shattered, yet tough.

Thank you Greg, I wrote it while in college, it must have been a great day! I've been writing a lot about hardships lately and I find myself wanting to read only hopeful poems lately as it's hard when you live with depression all the time. But, there are days when the clouds separate and the sun shines down on my face and for a brief time, I like living once again. 

Thanks for your comments!

Thanks Wilford, I appreciate the feedback. 

I'm working on a collection of poems, that will all be positive and upbeat. I'd like to write humor in to my poetry, because laughter can heal the world! 

A Lovely Journey 

Is a poet on Cosmofunnel, who writes with an outstanding amount of humor, even his comments are outstanding. Hope you check out his work. 

Again, thank you for the positive feedback. 
Some times, we have to stop writing for a while in order to write something that can evoke something good in the reader.
