Poems about hope by Sri Chinmoy
Countless frustrations have not cowed me.
I am still alive, vibrant with life.
The black cloud will disappear,
The morning sun will appear once again
In all its supernal glory.
No matter how fleeting its life,
It offers to us the most convincing
And fulfilling power.
Hope is Eternity’s slow, steady,
Illumining and fulfilling height.
Hope is nectar.
Can eventually become
A positive reality.
The beauty
Of hope’s outer life
And the fragrance
Of hope’s inner life
Are keeping humanity sane.
Hope
Is kind.
Therefore
I mix with hope.
Hope
Is swift.
Therefore
I run with hope.
Hope
Is brave.
Therefore
I collect boundless strength
From hope.
Hope
Is sincere.
Therefore
I invite hope
To accompany me
To the Golden Shore.
Hope, my pilot-star, hope
I have seen your face.
I have felt your heart.
Therefore
In ignorance-night
I shall no more grope.
Hope, my pilot-star, hope
You are humanity’s peerless rope
For human souls to climb
God’s Transcendental Height.
Hope is there,
Hope is everywhere.
Therefore,
We must live on hope.
I live in the hope of loving Him.
I live in the hope of pleasing Him.
I live in the hope of fulfilling
And manifesting Him.
I live, I live.
O my hope
O my hope,
Where are you?
Can you not see me
Inside the despair-grave?
O my hope,
Where are you?
Can you not grant me someday
The helmet of protection
And the crown of satisfaction?
Hope, my hope!
Is
Unimaginable.
Hope is illumining.
Hope is fulfilling.
Hope can be everlasting.
Therefore, do not give up hope
Even in the sunset of your life.
Hope ultimately succeeds.
Must be forgotten.
Tomorrow’s new hope
And new fulfilment
Must be cherished.
Hope is the reality that can and does
Reveal itself to us at God’s choice hour.
To hope is to know the secret of achievement.
There will definitely be
A hope-fruit.
Just wait and watch.
Hope treasures my belief.
Hope carries my heart’s preparation-light.
Hope soars beyond within.
Is not enough.
Cultivate a hope-life
Inside the very breath
Of your moment-to-moment existence.
