Maybe May

Flowers, green grass, sign saying Maybe...May

Maybe this will be the month

All restrictions will be lifted

Yearning for the “old normal” to return

A Beautiful Day in My Neighborhood

Spring flowers blooming and sidewalk chalk art

Neighbor

And I had a

Delightful walk today

Inspite of all the troubling news

We saw

Colorful flowers blooming and

Cheerful sidewalk art

On display in the

Sunshine

Hearts all around us

Happy hearts and hurting hearts

Hearts looking for hope

Heavy hearts needing healing

All seek to meet helpful hearts

Haiku Horizons Weekly Challenge: Week 36–Prompt: Hope

Decuain, May 2014, PTWWW-"Be Inspired" Challenge

I wrote this poem, sadly, because of a conversation with a person who is dear to me that was experiencing feelings of giving up because of recent circumstances in his life. As we talked, he asked me what empathy meant. I explained it’s meaning. His tears moved me to realize that is what he was looking for, and not finding it, he was too weak to continue his search. The poem is written to express his feelings. However, I have hope that my actions and prayers will be the helping hand he needs at this time.
