It's peace that I'm feeling,

Enslaved by hope,

What a beautifully inspiring piece! And of the
subject , I am intimately acquainted. Hope indeed
finds us, regardless of circumstance, but this is a
healthy and very good thing.

This write, fills the reader with a sense of connection
and fulfillment. In a way that cannot be escaped.
Wonderful sentiments in this, even with the sadness
that lines some of the words.

Fantastic post!!

Doesn't it seem that every time we get hurt (no matter how badly) we still find the strength and hope to continue on? I'm glad you're one that doesn't give up, even though the desired results don't follow through, because there's nothing else left to do but try! I think not giving it a shot is the worst thing that can happen. I actually found this to be quite inspiring, despite your heartfelt, unsettled bitterness. Great write...

take care

-K.Z.

Living our lives as we can...only the way we can, doing our best, being ourselves and trying, with hope. Well stated.
