"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the Soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all".
-Emily Dickinson
...need a Hope...to fill heart at challenging moment...torn apart by loss...disenchanted...left alone on a less travelled road full of bumps, twists, turns...confused...unable to figure out own worth...
...need a Hope...to keep us holding on tightly with courage, comfort, inner peace...to sustain us...till rainbow shows in the sky...stranger's hand touches ours...- Isabella Koldras
Tanka Poem and Oil Painting on Gesso Board by Isabella Koldras.
Such a lovely and meaningful offering, Isabella; you remind me that one must not ever give up hope. Your art (image) and words complement one another most effectively. Thank you for sharing your gifts. Love and best wishes to you,
Though I have never seen any seascapes painted by him, your painting reminds me of the work of the English Victorian painter, Samuel Palmer. There is always a spiritual light in his paintings, as there is in your poem and painting.
Life is full of winds and waves, and each one reaches Scary Point at some time along their journey--usually many times. I'm not sure if you are calling hope the saviour, or calling the Saviour hope. Either way, it works because we certainly need hope in stormy times, and we surely need our Saviour to give us that hope, and see us through the storms.
Nicely written, and your painting is lovely.
