Where Hope Abides

Branches bow to golden glow, wave as sun sinks far below horizon, where the darkness hides, in the place where hope abides.

Branches bow to golden glow,

wave as sun sinks far below

horizon, where the darkness hides,

in the place where hope abides.

    Hope is springing anew here…finally Spring has sprung! Darkness cannot hide from the Light of the Eternal One who sends seasons at His beckoning.
    Thanks for sharing…I’ve been away for a couple of weeks and had to check out your site. Always a blessing, Melody!

      Welcome back – and thanks, Glenda! The change of seasons is such a lovely picture of rebirth and renewal, isn’t it?

      Thanks Lyle! I haven’t been wanting to even go out lately but today the world changed, and I feel like snapping!

        Sounds like a good change.

    “Where hope abides”–what a wonderful, reassuring phrase (and poem worthy).

      IT does roll off the tongue rather glibly, doesn’t it? 🙂

        You know what I’d bet? I’d bet we could come up with a month’s worth of “where hope abides” poems–a collaboration, of course. Think about it, for when school ends…

      2. melodylowes

        OOOH! A collaboration! At a conference lately I came up with my new ‘brand’ – which is ‘Hope for Hurting Hearts’ – a focus for future writing/ministry. That does seem to fit my new purpose, no?

      3. jaels

        Echoing your ooooh–how exciting, Mel! And it does fit very well! This is kind of an ooo-whee-ooo experience, no? A Holy Spirit prompt before I even knew what you were up to…keep me updated, please!

    Keep the hope Melody!
    SPRING has finally arrived here!!! I’m so happy 🙂
    I told you that she’s wanted up north too. Hopefully – she’ll be there soon.
    Have a wonderful weekend!

      Thanks Rosy! Guess what – our creek is running! AND I heard some robins singing tonight! YIPPEE!!!
