    Oh, now you’ve got me in a corner! LOL! Let’s see – like say a villain set out to find hope for himself, that something that would fulfill him. Of course, he goes all the wrong patha looking for it, commiting all manner of evil to get it, but still is empty. Untill, right as he is commiting or aabout his worst evil yet, someone does something that grabs his attention who has that hope he’s searching for, who has been there all along. He just didn’t see it before.

     

    For a poetry example, someone is writing their honest feelings after attending a dear friend funeral. Poem would dive deep into a sea of hurt, confusion, pain, maybe even bitterness and anger. There would be few bright moments scattered through out, of the author reminiscing good memories with his friend. But after each bright moment, it plunges into darkness deeper still until it reaching a climax, of whether the writer will drown himself in these dark emotions, or lift his head up and look for the Hope, the Light of this world. He might not right away reach the conclusion that Jesus is the hope for the hurting, but at least the poems ends with a knowledge that he will find Him.

     

    I hope I make sense. Lol.

     

    I wouldn’t mind posting poems to discuss.
