83Each Completes a Life Circle.
These Few Poems of Hope.
'My Life Circles' : Poems of Hope: Album One: A Collection About Sad, Brave, Positive, Inspirational Poems and Haiku, by Pearldiver. A Life Circle will always move forward from its source; we as people who live in hope; are that source. There are many things that are special in our journey of life. Hope; gives every living person an opportunity to achieve a goal, a dream or a sense of well being. One of life’s full circles occurs when those hopes are realized and as a result; the hopes of another are also made tangible.
About Sad, Brave, Positive, Inspirational Poems and Haiku is a small and select collection of poems of hope. They are about the hope that we have in a variety of circumstances and of those times of loss when we feel that hope has deserted us. With Hope; we are truly blessed when our lives can be such; that others find strength in the way we allow that hope to guide us, enrich us and to allow us to pass on that enrichment. Explore Hope. After reading these poems, please take the time to mark the poem that you enjoyed most. Thanks for that.
And a 'Hopeless' Soul Departs.
Hope In the Power of Giving:
"Just hope," a mother said; consoling her son
He was broken; in hospital after the crash
His friend; the driver lay hung over and dying
In slow motion hope disappeared; lost in a flash.
=+=
And hope; this powerful, often bottled emotion
Provides a bridge between facts and dreams
The lost and dying drunk didn’t feel their pain
His sad death a selfish, hopeless act; it seems.
=+=
We had hoped that he’d make it through
But all his life we hoped he’d show us more
This distraught family of a hopeless soul
Dying; betrayed by the hopelessness he saw.
=+=
A surgeon came over and said; "Sorry for your loss"
Yes our only son; I don’t know how we will cope
Just a waste; he took our hopes and dreams
"Oh No!" said the surgeon; "Your brave son donated his heart; to give another hope!"
=+=
Sometimes untimely death provides a hope of life
If we care to look beyond our own anger and pain
We may see that life hopes are very precious things
A little hope can help us face our lives; or learn to live again.

It's a long road to find perfect.
Live to Hope Again.
She had hoped to find the perfect man
She told her friends that he’s the one
We haven’t met; just talked on the net
But he’s nice and we have such fun.
=+=
When they met; he charmed her over coffee
She hoped that he’d become her love
In a violent night he broke her heart
And then broke her nose, with that shove.
=+=
What if I had done everything he asked me to?
What if I had laughed at his sick joke yesterday?
Why did he hurt me; she sobbed from within her pain
Be sad; but be brave: Be strong enough; to always walk away.
oo0oo
Always Remember:
That YOU Have the Right to Be Happy! Never give up that right!

Hope warms you through the chill before the sunrise.
Hoping To Catch the Big Fish.
We cast our lines at the evening sunset
Out into the gentle swells of our favorite sea
We hoped to catch more than our breakfast
On a magic night we set a fire, fished and talked
Agreeing that on nights like this; fishing was meant to be.
=+=
Throughout the night we caught a feed
In this great place, was good company and fun
And now with an early morning rising tide
Equal parts of anticipation, hope and burley ruled
Inwardly, each of us now focused on hooking the big one.
=+=
In the change of light just before the sunrise
We cast fresh baits; I just knew they'd hit mine
That's the time when you can taste hope
The hope that warms you through that chill
And tells you "Strike that 20 pounder tugging on your line!"
=+=
There's something about fishing
Maybe it's just relaxing with a beer
Maybe it's quality time spent with mates
But I know on nights and mornings like this
It's just about fishing and just about being here.

So Many People all the Same.
Hope Lost on the Crowd.
People are too busy today: And they just don’t care
Hurriedly they jostle and push; their noses in the air
So many people moving; yet each alone in the crowd
Wise words fall unheard; lost to people far too loud.
=+=
So many people shut their eyes and just refuse to see
So many blind, busy people: Deafened by their apathy
So many apathetic people; they'll never change their ways
But if they don't talk or listen: How will they learn; the hopes of yesterday?

What's the Weather Like There?
But we always try to get it right!
The Cost of Hoping For Sunny Days.
=+=
Yes I have recovered from most of the pain
You know it’s been over a year since that storm
Today I try not to think about the weather anymore
But it just seems to always hurt on rainy days.
=+=
I have learned that if I keep my head down; it helps me
To see those puddles that precede the flash floods
And I don’t see those black clouds that carry bad luck
Oh yes, I’m also happy to say that; my wind has gone.
=+=
People always tell me; there is light at the end of the tunnel
But I don’t know what they mean; if they pat me as well
There’s a rainbow coming tomorrow; maybe hail; I can’t tell
I wonder why it seems to always hurt more on rainy days.
=+=
Yes I feel that I have recovered; from most of the pain
Since I planted cabbages the UV rays only go next door
And it doesn’t snow anymore since my prayers came true
I must tell you the good news; I found my remote on the floor.
=+=
Will it be an avalanche, an eruption, a dust storm or fire
That will determine the final future of this cruel world
If I open my door; the sun shines up my back passage
I suppose you’ve guessed; that I don’t chase; tornadoes anymore.
=+=
Well I must say that it’s been nice to catch up with you
And to hear all the news without a weather report
Time flies now that we are counting down to the end
Now it seems everyone is an expert today; yep that’s the trend.
=+=
Give my love to everyone at the met office;
I hope that I’ll be back on deck again when it’s finally warm
But all the pressure, those critic complaints take their toll
Try as we may; it seems we can’t always bring the sun out Norm
So I guess that’s why forecasters seem to hurt on rainy days
For us: With critics and no sun; there’s no shelter from the storm.

Inspire Me; Give Me Hope.
There can never be too much hope
Nor too much love in a better world
A world in which dreams come true
A place that I have dreamed of sharing with you.
--oo0oo--
I hope these words find you well and happy knowing that your uniqueness provides special with an equal.
--oo0oo--
Believe in yourself and never give up
Though you may feel or see danger close by
They can never bully a brave mouse that knows;
Small spaces, patience, Judo and can really fly.
--oo0oo--
There is a state of art that men often miss
That every girl and woman will know
A subtle power that can turn every head
This deep state of love that makes her glow.
--oo0oo--
As a teenager, they tortured me until I could not spell my name
They tried to break me; take away my music; spirit and my belief
They beat me with electric shocks and sticks to make me lame
They took away the things I loved and laughed at my grief, my pain.
=+=
Today I have mastered far more than the power of the word
I have stood defiantly before those who left me bruised with bloody cuts
I have seen their pain in having to deal with words now no longer unheard
And watched their grief at knowing that; an empowered lame one; kicked their butts!
Never Give Up.... Kia Kaha.
--oo0oo--

Your perfection keeps growing.
My Hope Was Born With You.
{To:JasandNix}
==+==
When you were born, I was so proud
I held you so that you could hear my heart
And then you would always know who I was; as your father
=+=
When you were born, I was so proud
You held my little finger in your whole hand
And then you yawned and drifted off to sleep; safely
=+=
When you were born, I was so proud
I felt like all my dreams had come true
And when you smiled; new dreams formed with such hope
=+=
When you were born, I was so proud
I was marveled by the perfection that I saw before me
And as you grew up; your perfection also grew; flawless unlike me
=+=
Years have passed since the first day, that I held you
So long since you were born and yet I am still so very proud
I had always hoped that you would know and understand your father's heart
How special it was just to hold you and how hard it has been, being apart.

Hi Shalini, thank you for taking the time to read this mixed grill of thoughts. Glad you enjoyed reading them... I really enjoyed writing these.. it was fun.. especially the suspense of the weatherman. Take care and thanks again for that awesome comment.
Thank you for sharing these very powerful and beautiful poems.
Hello Alek, thank you for reading this collection and your kind comment. Wow.. glad you liked them. Hope you are well and life is good for you. I hope.. Will that hope become tangible? I hope so. Take Care
Very beautiful and inspiring.
Hi zzron, thank you for reading this work, glad that you liked it. Btw if you are inspired by the fishing poem, the photos were taken only 10 minutes from my home and the fish weight was 21lb. Come over and cast a line one day, you are most welcome.. but we might not be able to speak as our accents (mine is Kiwi) clash big time.... you bring the bait. Thanks for taking the time Tex. Take care.
Great collection PD! zzron gave some of us a head's up on FB. I don't get alerts enough! Thank you sir Very nice as always! Thank ZZtopron too!
I reckon, Hi Micky Dee, I was just looking at your selection of works that you have published recently, with a visit to your site in mind, so I'll carry on over there shortly. Thanks for reading this and your comments and yes ZZtopron.. you rock! Thank you. MD of course if you're partial to abit of fishing you are also most welcome man! Take care.
Terrific! The pictures enhanced the poetry like music enhances a film. Thanks for a great effort!
Breautiful poems. Thanks for sharing them here.
Love and peace
Tony
Beautiful Poetry , helps to make me think - hope is a source of inspiration , lots of love to ya :) and thanks fer writin :)
Hi Paradise, thanks for reading this collection nd for your kind comment. Most of the picures are of New Zealand, where many great actors have come from. But I don't think Pearldiver needs a Holly or Bollywood Agent yet! I'm pleased that you enjoyed this work. Take Care.
Hi Tony, Thanks for taking the time to read this collection and our kind comments. I'm honored to see some of the poetry elite of HP have viewed this work. South Africa did herself proud with the FIFA World Cup Tony.. Amazing and the Kiwis didn't want to leave without loosing a game either. Be well Sir and Take Care.
Hi Starme, thanks for reading this and your kind comments. Hope does give inspiration and if that helps you to write; then we and the world are better for that, aren't we! I'm glad that you took the time to think about some of the poems here, as that is the key to understanding the message in the poem's bottle. You be well and Take Care.
I laughed till I cried reading your profile; then I cried till I smiled reading your wonderful poetry and seeing the most incredible photoart I've seen in awhile. Somehow, I feel such a kinship. I had a similar youth, not on an island with a lighthouse and passing ships and a gollywog as a friend but on a very remote west Texas ranch with a black sambo doll as a friend and lots of sheep and goats as population.
Anyway, I felt your spirit reading you and was so happy to discover you here, thanks to your visit to my hub!
Thank you!
Hi... you are most welcome Nellieanna, thank you for taking the time to read my newest collection of shuffled words. Well, I guess if I made you laugh then I'm responsible for improving your day and for that I'm pleased.
It's funny that you had goats surrounding you.. so did I and I found them a complete waste of time for trying to have an intelligent conversation with. Once again thanks for your kind words.. Be Well and Take Care.
The strength, humour and beauty in these poems came shining through so loud and clear it may have changed the weather here. The photography just enhanced the mood even more - thank you. I should be used to it here on Hubpages, but finding talent like this as I'm cruising around on a Sunday morning, drinking coffee, always leaves me feeling like I've found treasure. And indeed I have :)
Uh, make that Saturday morning. More coffee is in order! LOL
Hi SilverGenes, what a Golden review, thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to read this collection of poems of hope. If my work has changed the weather then I hope that it wasn't from sunny to rainy days. I'm glad you enjoyed this work, be well and take care.
Beautiful work, Pearldiver!!! :)
Each poem has such beautiful meaning( Hope) and they have touched my inner soul. I read the Haiku poem out loud, the words go deep into your mind and spirit. Wow, thank you for sharing another part of you and forgiving those Hope through the bad times. You are like a ray sunshine cast across a glistening sea. :)
Hi there VAMPGYRL, thanks for taking the time to read this work and your kind comment. I see that you have written some beautiful works too which I look forward to reading. Thanks again, be well and take care.
Hi Julianna, thanks for checking this collection out and your kind comments. I guess that you enjoyed reading these poems as much as I enjoyed writing them. Yes Hope is tangible when we believe isn't it? Thanks again J.. you be well and take care.
Comporting, Inspirational, Creative, thought provoking and so Beautifully written
all combined does remind me of a pearl.
its beautiful and it lifts my spirits, Maita
Hi Kimberly, thanks for reading this collection and your kind comments. Well I guess I'm very lucky if what you are telling me is true Kim; I was only looking to write thought provoking poems. Once again, thanks mate, you be well and take care.
Hello Maita, Thanks for reading this and catching up. I'm glad you liked these poems... I have aong way to go before I can take on Pablo Neruda of course.. but maybe next year I'll get him. I have an advantage as he can't critique my works lol. A drunk guy, who had lost both his arms once told me that I was responsible for raising his spirits too.... but he was drunk before I even opened my mouth. Take Care and Be Well.
The judo mouse made it for me. Then you fold a love blanket knitted in words around a baby. You just keep on to amaze me with your talent.
Thank you for sharing these extraordinary play with words. I always enjoy reading it.
Hi equealla, awesome thanks for reading them. That was a good interview done on you and it was good to see that you look as though you've hit your stride (sorri, a kiwi horse racing term). I'm just lucky that I have some old wisdom to draw on when I need it mate.. no more than that. Sorry that NZ nailed Sth Africa again in the rugby cup. Be Well and Se jous veer.
Well Done
Hi AP, thanks for reading this work and your compliment. Taks Care.
Wonderful collection of poems that flow well together with some beautiful pictures. Really good hub.
Hi Zac, thanks for reading this collection and your kind comments. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Take Care and Be Well.
I especially liked "Hope in the Power of Giving." Sad and beautiful. A tough subject to explore and you did it without being overly sentimental. I'm new to hub pages, just getting my feet wet, and I was wondering about something I've noticed: why do so many hubbers, yourself included, put more than one poem in a hub, when there's a chance they might become lost in the pile? It seems to me that publishing them separately would get readers to give each individual poem more careful consideration. That being said, you are obviously keeping their attention! Thanks for the beautiful hub.
Hi Steele Fields, welcome to HP and to my collection of randomly shuffled words; Thank you for readng them and for your compliments. The reason that I put more than one poem in my hubs, has to do with my preferred word count and hubbing style. The other thing is that my works generally score well as opposed to individual pages that tend to score lower.
I've looked at some of your work... you write well, nice to meet you; I spent some good time in Penn State (not in B&W striped PJs) Still follow the Phillies even though I'm a kiwi. Take Care and be well.
...well I came here to dive for pearls - and I found plenty of them ... pearls of poetic wisdom, profound thoughts and a deep soulful meditation on life and living which makes us rich - when we read someone like you!
your poems remind me of so much, of the days i used to hope and dream, before reality struck.Thanks for reminding me that i should not be afraid to dream anymore!
Hi epigramman, thanks for calling by; even if was to cart off my pearls and thanks for your compliments. I guess I'm quite lucky as I found this very fertile bed of oysters and most of them contain good random shufflings of poetry. Cheers for your support. Take Care and be well.
Hello She, thank you for reading this collection and your kind compliment. I am glad that you enjoyed the poems. You stopped dreaming? You can make reality out of a dream She. Don't ever be afraid to hope and dream... it is when you believe that you make something positive happen. Don't give up on that. You Take Care and be well.
Rob...Thank you for these sage and compelling observations so poetically presented...Lots of wisdom and inspiration there...
I have never viewed Hope as a positive attribute to find success in life...Hope to me has been a weakness to face reality with determination...Hoping for the best does not trump doing your best, or accepting life on its terms...Saying I hope the world will come together in peace and cooperation is a pale shadow to doing something to make that happen...
I guess I have a Sisyphean view of the world in that I have forsaken all hope and replaced it with an inner strength that is untouchable, a sure confidence that I will prevail...low expectations provide a safe haven for dashed dreams...As always, your haiku inspires and delights...I have always read haiku out loud, sometimes to myself, and sometimes to my woman...your haiku is the sort that needs to be shared, discussed, and applauded...Thank you my friend for another poetic journey punctuated with wonderful pictures accentuating each poem's theme or message...Larry
Hi Larry, Thanks for reading this collection and as always your objective and positive comments. I have also always viewed hope in the same regard as you, but then I considered the many aspects of Hope in their standalone form; positively. I found that hope is not, when used positively, a negative in any respect; in fact in some forms, Hope in itself is the motivation to succeed. I believe that many, as you state; don't drive it or use it as the base for making that event materialise. I believe that I have described this point within one of my poems of hope.
I have worked with people who have only had two things in their lives that they were able to rely on (beyond family) and found that what has driven them to succeed has always been that inner strength that is untouchable and the hope that using it positively and objectively; will equate to achieving the dream. Take Care and Be Well my friend.
These poems are full of all the things you said in your introduction. I like all of them alot. Good works.
Hi Devin, thank you for taking the time to read these works and your kind comment. Yes the theme of this collection of poems is Hope and the many ways it is used and interpreted. I'm glad that you enjoyed them. Take care.
I love all these poems... you touched my soul with the way you played with words, and how you turn them into emotions that can inspire! Two thumbs up for you, my friend! =)
Hi DjB, thanks for reading these poems and for your kind comments; I'm glad you enjoyed the collection. Wow you gave me 2 thumbs up.. cheers for that mate. Take Care.
Great job PD. Inspiring, beautiful and rated up and awesome. Best of luck in your endeavor. CC
Hi PD, I read this one again and it always lift my spirits. I need to bookmark it and read it again and again. Even the drunk can be sober at one point, your friend is only half drunk. My I always thought you're good at writing poetry. Now I must think whether I can read Neruda again, (sometime maybe) Maita
Hi Charlie, Thank you very much for taking the time to read these mate and your great comment. I appreciate your opinion. Cheers, you take care and be well.
Hi Maita, thanks for calling by again... you should have brought a pizza with you lol. I appreciate your comments and as you can see; decided that I should use my real photo for a change. All the best PDH... you be well and hope your gmail bug goes away. Take care.
Beautiful use of imagery and anecdotes. They are wonderfully complimented by the pictures. There is a great honesty to your writing. The best part? None the words you used to express yourself were pretentious or untrue in any way. They reach out and take the reader along for the ride. Take care, VA
Hi arrowsparrow, thanks for reading these works and your very kind comments. If what you are saying means that I have achieved an enjoyable experience for my readers; then I have achieved the goals that I set when I wrote them. Thank you very much. Take Care.
Everyone who has gone before has said all I want to say, so what more is there to say? Fabulous, incredibly awesome poetic thoughts. Look forward to reading more of your work.
Hi leni sands, thank you for reading these works and your kind comments. I appreciate the tastefully honest compliments lol. Cheers for taking the time to peruse my work. I look forward to reading your work. Take Care.
It's quite something how much time, effort and care you put into your hubs. For a newbie like me, it's inspiring. Also love the subtle injection of humor: e.g. when the television remote is found on the floor. That had me laughing abruptly. You now have an apple in your fanpile (I'm not sure what fruit represents N. Americans).
Hi DTjnr, thanks for reading this collection of poems and for your awesome comment. Glad you like that poem about the weather man who no longer chases tornadoes.. that is one of the funniest poems that I have written.... as I was laughing throughout, thinking how can I take them on a journey in which they think I'm crazy, but in reality I'm describing something that they see everyday, yet don't realize? Had to to be either the news or the weather. Oh yeah... people from NZ are called Kiwis... It wasn't a reference to the fruit.. If you've left an apple in my fanpile.. an aussi is likely to munch it! Let me know if you suffer any sharp pain on ya.. you know! Take Care.
Hi you have a great hub here and so well thought out.
The finished product is brilliant. I have only just found you on here and I now look forward to reading more of your work.
Take care.
Hello Eiddwen, thank you for reading this collection and for your compliments. I'm glad that you enjoyed the mixed bag of poems that I put together here. I think that you will find that I write across many styles of poetry, but I enjoy exploring the degrees of hope that people attach their lives to. Take care
Every single poem has its own message. They were all special for the meaning you were hoping to convey. It was hard picking the one I liked most, but it had to be My Hope Was Born With You. Thank you.
Hi Karanda, thanks for taking the time to read these poems of hope and for your kind comment. That was a good choice and was a dedicated poem... cheers. I'm glad you enjoyed this collection, I was testing different writing styles here and it seems I may have got some of them right... this is a very popular collection and has been read very extensively! Maybe I should have published it in hardcopy or charged a dollar? You take care and be well Karanda.. I hope you guys are over the problems from the flooding.
This collection of "hope" poems seems so melancholy; as if there really is no hope. Sadly. Blessings, Debby
Wow.. Debby.. I'm sorry you interpreted them that way, as clearly you must have missed the message that is carried within the poems. It seems others don't share your view either... they are Very Deep. However, you may well be right.. perhaps there is no Hope and the world will end in the Google Wars that we, who write must defend ourselves against. :) I always try to remember in poetry Debby, it is in itself an artform, when one is able to create a piece that is viewed in many different and significant ways.. Take care, thanks for reading my work.
Dear PearlDiver ~ So true. I believe there are two sides to every coin. Two faces to each poem. The desire and need for hope when there is so little. Thus, we give ourselves messages and talk about our needs. Reaching deeply inside for that little bit of hope to survive and keep alive. After you meditate upon the possibilities, tell whether there are times of hopelessness in-between those times of hope. Blessings, Debby

Hi Eiddwen, welcome back in your reading. Thanks for coming back and for your supportive comments. Take care. Wales should have won!
I wish my poetry was as amazing as yours is. You are truly blessed with a rare talent.
Hi Phoebe Pike, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on this poetry. Glad you enjoyed it and I certainly couldn't fault your work. I guess as a poet it is worthwhile working on the basis that if it moves..write it, until it makes you move. Thank you for such a lovely compliment.. you take care.
I Hope: I hope you come fly with me again soon.

So incredibly beautiful, it makes me want to cry. You just take us through the gamut of emotions with your poems, Pearldiver. Real gems - all of them - thanks!
