Desolate and bald
the net of desertion fails
the lone tree stands tall
amid a blanket of snow
certain of sprouting afresh!

I’d like to think that way. Of life beyond death. Of Hope beyond despair. Great thinking, Radhika.

Exactly what we need to follow in life. Without getting disheartened by falls and failures, to be certain of sprouting wherever we are . Well expressed, Radhika.

Thanks Pragalbha. When there is cent percent hope, it becomes belief, faith and then certainty which is very much needed to wade through bleak times.
