Let me find hope…
In the gentlest of whispers,
which stops the loudest of screams,
in the deepest of love,
where my heart can lean,
and find its way back from the darkest nights,
as I lay my mind, on the first morning light…
let me find hope.

Hello Everyone,
It has been a while since I have done a poetic collaboration and I thought with fall approaching soon this would be a great time to do one. The theme of this collaboration is ‘letting go’ ( letting go of a person, season, loss, grief, dreams, anger, hate or any other emotion or object that you may choose to write about). Everyone is welcome to participate and I will add your contribution in the order they come and list the author (and blog link if listed) beneath the post. You may contribute as many times as you wish. Please note that hateful language is not acceptable and I will remove any post I find inappropriate. If you want to see a previous example of my collaborations you can visit here. Please add your contributions in the comment section. Please include the actual verse…

Hello Everyone,
My heart is saddened to see what continues to go on in this world…but we must continue to find hope and spread peace and do what we can to restore the love and peace in humanity.
I just wanted to remind you all that #PoetsforPeace collaboration initiated by my friend Michael and hosted here at forgottenmeadows is still open. We have over 85 contributions from around the world and I am amazed by the powerful messages shared. Let’s continue to unite together to spread peace… to join simply add your piece in the comment section of the collaboration post. Please share #poetsforpeace and watch this collaboration grow.
My friend Brad has also started a #peacechallenge, and I hope you join his effort and together we all stand strong behind peace.
Below is my contribution for both challenges.
You let go
of your gains and losses
and walked with your dreams
stopping to wonder …
at the colours of the trees
the serenity of the cool breeze
the smell of the flowers
And there were no minutes or hours
that bound you…
To go on the adventure
of your heart
to follow
what you always wanted to start
but was held back
by some mindless banter of your mind
which was trying to define
who you were
and what you were meant to be
So you let go…
and became free…
to walk your journey
with your heart full of dreams
and eyes full of imagination
of where you could go…
you let go…

You follow me,
into the desolate shores of my mind,
holding my hands in silence,
you let me lean on you.

“I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.”

With open arms,
you stood,
waiting…
on the brink
of the storm.

Sun set
on
the whimsical mind
leaving it
distracted.

The sound of afternoon rain
stirs your heart…
and your mind
drifts,
with the thunder
awakening
your sleeping soul.
