11 Poems About Hope to Find Light in the Shadows

11 Poems About Hope to Find Light in the Shadows

Hope is a funny thing. Some days, our hearts are filled with hope, possibilities, and gratitude for the life we’re living. Other times, hope may feel a million miles away from our souls, especially when navigating difficult times.

However, no matter what is unfolding in our lives, hope can be crafted, cultivated, and gently stoked in the fire of our hearts. 

Hope is the small spark of light that keeps burning, even in the darkest seasons of our lives. Hope is what will guide you, even when you are lost.

So, I can only hope this collection of poems about hope inspires you to go within, tend the embers of your heart, and warm your soul from the inside out.

And if hope feels a million miles from your bleeding heart, I pray that life gifts you the softness you need to find faith and receive the support you deserve.

 

Poems About Hope

1. FINDING Hope - jadine lydia

i hope your heart
finds the warmth it needs
to caress your struggles
with the grace of god.
i hope your soul
finds the strength it needs
to sit patiently in limbo
whilst your whole world
rearranges itself
into a technicolour miracle.
i hope your body
surrenders deeply
in the face of adversity
and rejoins the world
with a body of scars
that remembers
not all battles are wounds,
but a reminder to fall
back into the arms
of something bigger than yourself.
a reminder that you were not built
to struggle alone.
a gentle reminder that
when all is said, done and lost –
you can always find hope.

i walk this path with hope
that one day
i may find my way home

because that’s
all i’ve ever known.

that would be her guiding light.

11. Hope For Something – Jadine Lydia

i kept calling,
again and again and again.
hoping that one day
someday,
somebody would pick up.
that my prayers would be answered
and my sins blessed and graced.
that the god above
would emanate love
and channel it through my veins.
that i too, one day
would be,
eternal in my bliss.

original poem by – Jadine Lydia
