Hope the noun











Yes, "hope" may be lost,

and is sometimes crossed,
by others completely unknowing.


The ideal hope internal,
to gain best desire eternal,
gift of hope seen gone and going.

Even so there is the other,
a hope the noun, will bother,

must stir fear upon arriving.

Why am I so deeply suspicious?
Hesitant, distrusting, superstitious
of hope's completion and conniving


For me to stop my hoping,
detachment improves my coping

hope then arrives, a new provision.


So lost hope, that is the verb,

does not essentially disturb

Hope the noun, what a jovial collision.
