    “I was hope. I was a child.
    Bright hair. Bright eyes.”

    LOVE. And that somber last line. Wonderful.

    I used to get up at 4:00 a.m. and walk the moonlit fields. It’s really beautiful seeing all the heavens lit up bright. I like the hope of a child, simple and pure

    “I was hope… I walked alone.” A powerful, contemporary universal truth. We live in the age of Chicken Little. I have been knocked down one less time than I have gotten back up to my feet.

    Your poem is gorgeous.

    Hauntingly good. This has echoes of Frost about it.

    I love this… to me it has the same feeling as Emily Dickinson’s feathers. A bird, a child. Hope is the same mix of strength and fragility.

    You provide haunting words and a haunting image. Sometimes walking alone can birth hope….I do believe that.

    Sometimes, hope does walk alone, unnoticed.
    This is beautiful, Misky.
