Hope

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune–without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

~Emily Dickinson

It is an absolutely perfect Spring day!  It is making me think of a haiku on simplicity I recently read in the book, “Haiku Mind” by Patricia Donegan. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do – 🙂

this spring in my hut

there is nothing

there is everything

tumbled smooth by the ocean
