‘Three
Sisters’
It’s
hard to keep the faith
With
chances slim, and hope –
A
dying candle. Love
Is
what sustains us. Love,
Awakening
the faith,
Life
breathing into hope.
Soon
burning flames of hope
Will
join the fiery love,
And
set alight the faith.
Three
sisters: Faith, Hope, Love.
Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur
Ooooo! Nice! Trying to tackle the Tritina now (not so comfy with the formal forms). I just wanted to say I am now enjoying your work on several different sites. I understand the "Happy," but would like to respectfully disagree with the "Amateur" part. You are a gifted poet. Thank you for sharing your words with me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, De! You're too kind really, but anyway I want to defend the 'amateur' part of my 'name' :-) all the connotations of amateur apply to me, but my absolute favorite is 'lover' that goes to the root of the word. I'm fine with just Happy for short, but I'll keep the Amateur to remind myself of my motto: Live for the Love of it!
DeleteThanks again!
Ahhhh! Seeing that now in your header. Wonderful! :)
