Hope

There is no COST in hope
But HOPELESSNESS can be costly

Costly

Costly life costly time
Truth is costly life is costly.

No one can say
The exact cost of life
No one can investigate
What is life
No one can speak
Bare truth of life
No one can
No one can.

From Hopelessness to Hope By: Cay Thorne

Some people have a lot of hope
Some have a little hope in their lives
Some have just a good moment of hope to live on
Some just don’t believe in hope

In war there is hope
Hope for peace and love between everyone
Peace for all weapons of man to be destroyed
Which starts wars and hatred

Hope equals opportunities
Opportunities that starts with courage
Courage that begins with self esteem
Self esteem that begins with confidence

Confidence in self begins with hope
Hope begins with self love
Love begins with self confidence
Self confidence that begins with kindness

Kindness is a key to love
Love is hope within your life
Life without love is hopeless
No matter the size or quality
Of love given and received

Life with self doubt
Is an unhealthy life
A life full of hopelessness
A hopelessness that can destroy

A disaster that can end a perfect strong life
Full of love faith and hope
A life which isn’t full of demons and fears
Demons and fears that eat;
That eats at your very soul
Like an inoperable cancer

A soul which can be purer;
Purer by faith and love
That leads to self confidence

Within which leads to high self esteem
A self esteem that equals God’s
God’s never ending faith and love for you

God’s belief in you is worthy;
Worthy of total happiness and love
Happiness which destroys hatred
Hatred that can cause self destruction

Destruction on all levels of self
Only way to conquer self destruction
Is by having love, peace and faith in yourself

Faith in your self to change no matter the size
Peace to guard you through hard times
Love is a beacon of God’s belief and trust in you
Kindness that destroys all self-hopelessness.

A hopeless world can cause war
War causes death of self belief within yourself

The only way to cure
This unwanted monster
On hopelessness is yourself
Is to believe in love, faith and peace
And in a major thing within God
Which we find peace, faith, love and hope
For all mankind, animals and everything on Earth

Hope from God kills hopelessness
Its up to us with God’s help
To destroy our own hopelessness
In every single aspect of ourselves.

Hopelessness Is The Hell That Always Returns

HOPELESSNESS IS THE HELL THAT ALWAYS RETURNS

Hopelessness is the hell that always returns-
We try to dream our way out
We fight with small ordering actions
That tell us we can still move-
We seek to find our way in work
And flow in it –
Small conversations may help-
We seek to be suddenly be lifted up by
Surprising perceptions of nature’s beauty –
Though we know
Love the only true answer.

But hopelessness never dies
It comes back again and again
Older and weaker our power to resist is less-

Just this morning lost in hopelessness
I thought all was lost
And now here I am
Trying to quite weakly
write my way out of it
yet again.

What is hope.................

What hope means

Hope is bright shining light which keeps darkness at the bay
Hope is gentle cold breeze on a hot summer day

Hope is to remain positive when going gets tough
hope is seeking more when others think u had enough

What hope means

Hope is dreaming of tommorow
Hope is simmering under sorrow

Hope is sparkles when tears in our eyes
Hope is a beautiful thing & beutiful things never dies

What hope means

Hope is as light as a feather
Hope keeps all of us together

Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
hope is the last thing ever lost.....

A New Hope

What does hope mean? ?

Hope is the bright shining light which keeps darkness at the bay
Hope is the gentle cold breeze on a hot summer day
Hope is to remain positive when it gets tough
hope is seeking more when others think of having enough

Hope is dreaming of tomorrow
Hope is simmering under sorrow
Hope is sparkles when tears in our eyes
Hope is a beautiful thing & beautiful things never dies

Hope is as light as a feather
Hope keeps all of us together
Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
hope is the last thing ever lost.....

Were There Hope

I was never in a league of noble gentlemen
To whom she'd cast polite and flitting smiles,
Only distant hope and dying dreams for me!
Or perhaps descent into a game of wiles

To give a chance of sipping wine on heady nights
With her angelic presence to declare;
Above, an aura playing out hypnotic hues,
And I in awe of blonde cascades of hair.

But no! my tiring soul is sinking in a mire
To haunt me for an age and evermore, for
How could I expect to hold her silken hand
When I am but a soulless ghost of yore?

Ballade of the Traffickers

Up goes the price of our bread--
Up goes the cost of our caking!
People must ever be fed;
Bakers must ever be baking.
So, though our nerves may be quaking,
Dumbly, in arrant despair,
Pay we the crowd that is taking
All that the traffic will bear.

Costly to sleep in a bed!
Costlier yet to be waking!
Costly for one who is wed!
Ruinous for one who is raking!
Tradespeople, ducking and draking,
Charge you as much as they dare,
Asking, without any faking,
All that the traffic will bear.

Roof that goes over our head,
Thirst so expensive for slaking,
Paper, apparel, and lead--
Why are their prices at breaking?
Yet, though our purses be aching,
Little the traffickers care;
Getting, for chopping and steaking,
All that the traffic will bear.

L'ENVOI

Take thou my verses, I pray, King,
Letting my guerdon be fair.
Even a bard must be making
All that the traffic will bear.

THE COST...by Talile Ali

V1
ALWAYS AVOIDED FAME
AFRAID TO PAY THE COST
LOSS OF FAMILY
FRIEND'S WHO ALL ARE LOST

THERE IS NO DENYING
THE NEED TO SERVE IS STRONG
THE COST OF SERVICE EXPENSIVE
THAT'S NOT TO SAY IT'S WRONG

CHORUS
BUT IT'S THE COST
IT'S THE COST
GOTTA PAY THE PIPER
OR ELSE YOU'LL BE TOSSED
IT'S THE COST

V2
LOVE IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE
HEART IS STRONG AND TRUE
EPIPHANIES ARE FLOWING
WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU

SO I WRITE AND PERFORM
AND YOU SEE MY NEED
TO DO THIS HERE SERVICE
FOR EVERYONE'S THAT'S PLEASED

JAM FOR 24 BARS

CHORUS
BUT IT'S THE COST
IT'S THE COST
GOTTA PAY THE PIPER
OR ELSE YOU'LL BE TOSSED
IT'S THE COST

FADE OUT

The candle of hope

Hope for the hopeless and hope for the lost.
No matter the price, whatever the cost.
Jesus had come and was willing to pay
being born as a babe that first Christmas day.

Hope that's a certainty, hope that is sure.
Though the earth is shaken I am secure.
Trusting in Jesus and safe in His care.
Knowing THAT He's with me and always there.

A Wandering Star

You filled the aching longing
Of a lonely wandering star
You bridged a yawning chasm
When you saw me from afar

I heard your cry from darkness
And the blackness of the night
You cried ' I've come to set you free.'
'I've come to give you sight.'

What could fill this aching longing?
What could bridge this vast expanse?
What could render sight to blind?
And cause dead feet to dance

Could hopelessness be turned to hope?
Could darkness turn to light?
Could sin be gone and sting no more?
And end this endless night

And soon enough I found it so
In Christ my risen King
The darkness fled from my lonely heart
A heart that now can sing

And hopelessness gave place to hope
His joy now fills my soul
The chasm bridged, the darkness light
His will became my only goal

So thank you Lord, you gave me sight
When you saw me from afar
You forgave my sins and set me free
No longer now a wandering star

So Close To Love

Too close to love!
Yet it's,
Costly to keep.
And it's,
Too costly to leave it.

So close to love.

I prayed with faith to get it.
Never knowing love would be 'that' close.
Never knowing I would love it most.

Too close to love!
Yet it's,
Costly to keep.
And it's,
Too costly to leave it.

Too close to love!
Yet it's,
Costly to keep.
And it's,
Too costly to leave it.

So close to love.
Never knowing love would be 'that' close.
Never knowing I would love it most.

And I'm,
So close to love.
Never knowing love would be 'that' close.
Never knowing I would love it most.

Too close to love!
Yet it's,
Costly to keep.
And it's,
Too costly to leave it.

So close to love.

Loss of hope rather than loss of life is what decides the issues of war. But helplessness induces hopelessness.

Emotional

loneliness seeps through my bones,
wondering,
there is no hope,

screaming sorrow in my brain,
hopelessness,
all in vain,
come with sorrow,
equals pain,

emptiness all in my head,
wondering,
when ill be dead,

broke my bones,
and,
bled me dry,
I just hope,
nobody saw me cry,

carelessness in my blood,
i am now,
face down in mud,

cornered in my mind,
restlessness,
i have now,
run out of time.

Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity.

Marie-Rose de Beauharnais 1795

To what shall I liken thee?
An angel in realms above,
a mermaid in Oceans beneath,
a costly stone in the fiercest
contention sought for,
or even a costly diamond in the
earth's elusive epicentre buried?
Your beauty is a turning point
reference in your amazing book
of chronicles.

Mirror, Same Face As Yours

So many of you here
Still dream
Longing for the fire from
Those distant stars
Many of you
Still hope to lessen
The pain
Or get rid of these
Miseries

Tonight you will raise your arms
Begging for the moon
To shine upon you with
Hope

How poor
How miserable
Your faces show
The malady of mankind
Your wry smiles
Feed upon the
Dry lips of
Hopelessness

I look upon the mirror...
I stare upon it closely like a microscope.

My face is same as yours
I feed upon
Your helplessness
I swallow
The same hopeless case.

Mad Dogs Feast Upon The Weak

Only mad dogs
power insatiable
will prey upon
the wretched
forsaken
of the earth.

Only mad dogs
will boast
of exploiting
the wretched
down trodden
of the earth.

Hopelessness
faith
devouring
hopelessness...

is a cancer
mastered cured
true disciples
live by faith alone...
