Positively beautiful. So hopeful and true.

I like the message of hope you convey in this lovely piece. I think you are right: "...the time will come
When the soul of man will finally cope"
~Butch Howard

Great message. Once gave a talk on coping at a "Coping with the Future" conference in Birmingham as bad behavior. I'd take a coping saw and cut it out. ;-)

...and that's why we have necks... in order to be able to look up and gain our proper perspectives! And walking blind sharpens our night vision, and then the stars REALLY come alive and oh, so close. You can hear them whispering.... This has all the wonder and anticipation of the New Heaven and The New Earth as we realise that we are part of the Growing Gem which is quietly preparing itself in the darkness, as we wade through our urban stratums of mud and grace. Having our sights on what's above and not below certainly gives our soul the scope to cope... And my favourite line of poetry of all time (so far!) "Ah, but a man's reach exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for"... Nice through-the-keyhole couplets, Jude. The view into the garden beyond speaks of Wonderland. LOL Great periscope / telescope write. TY Kate xx

You write reminds me of the time when all the searching for answers and bits of knowledge learned it all seemed as if it was just something to do while I was waiting for life to catch up with me. Lady J

Good poetry. An easy ride into the hope of a future.

As Dorothy might have said to the Wizard:

"I surely hope that you're right!" Appreciative - Bill

There is power in these words.

Captivating. It's taking a long time for man to find a way to cope...

As Richard said, Passionately introspective
and hopeful. A great poem!

Passionately introspective and hopeful Jude.
Like being bathed in a sudden intense wash of light.
Stand strong!
Blessings ...

The paths we all take to condition living is paved in gravel.

nicely done

Jude,

Sounds great. I hope I live to see that day. Beautiful and positive write my friend. Bless You Always, Paul.

Coping with the "search for an unchained hand".
I needed to read the first two lines several times until they took me to the answer: "the time will come".
The author isn't talking about what happened in life but also about the hope of what could be enfolding in the future.
Deep and masterly.
Georg

I luv the positive energy I got from this wonderfully written poem ... hugs

"Where positivity
Erases all our scars"

Very nice smooth read.

Resonates like Pali scripture preserved on a palm leaf manuscript, "Abandoning violence to all living things...one should wander alone like a rhinocerous horn." Buddhist Revival...Monastery code of enlightenment, Jude...

Sage

well said, jude. wonderment, hope, postivity, dreams--all essential for that urgently needed reality shift.
peace,
carolyn

This time will come :-) and its wonderful to read words that show me I am not alone in this thought :-)

Will man finally cope? I wonder. He is working hard at self destruction. Victor

exquisite...

Well Penned Jude
Must say at times I miss the City
But too often
enjoyed your excellent write
Peace

William

Yeah, that's why I moved to the country.
Can see more stars and feel less heat
from the concrete.
Thanks for sharing, positively....

Damn and here I thought it meant you were on the streets tryin to cop a "z" or likewise...;) ed

there's hope then, if (when) we will cope. and I believe we will do even more when we soar and shine as the stars we once beheld. Dawn

Beautifully written! I enjoyed reading.
