Hope and faith
Are not the same.
They are partners,
Hope sans faith
At least a modicum -
Is lame,
In vain.



Look up
Behold promise
And believe it
Or lie down
In despair.



There is as much
Hope and faith
In death
As in life.
That we
Remember not
At most
But at least
We know it
In our guts.



Fear forbids
Our spirit.
We cannot
See it -
Deaths promise
For us.



And somewhere
Daffodils in spring
Are not evidence enough,
Only the insinuation
Of that nameless power
Pervading our spirit
Whispers "yes"
And sometimes
We are hard of hearing.


Addie W. Williams
Dated 2/23/1983

I think that both Aberjhani and Jerry hit upon the key essentials of this lovely poem your mother wrote.

A strong dose of wisdom that not all can accept but that clearly we all need to ponder. Thanks for sharing.

Insightful and profound is this little gem. The denial of us mortals is well documented in the words of this poem and the secret knowing that most of us have concerning deaths promise is brought forth brilliantly. Superb.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
