POEM of the Week: 

Temptation

Elisabeth Pike

 

it would be easy to think

that hope wouldn’t last,

that it could be stamped out,

that a little frail thing

like that shoot wouldn’t

be strong enough to last

through the droughts and storms.

tempting to imagine

that it was all in your own hands now,

that you had been left alone,

and you would have to find another way.

but now you stop,

now you realise that hope springs.

that it is all around you,

strong it it’s multitude,

that you couldn’t stop it

even if you tried.
