Our Joy Arises - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins



Life is full of pain

This too will pass on our way

Our joy arises

© 2018  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  This poem was both inspired,  written and published for the first time on my blog today, the 5th of November 2018.  I was inspired during the watching a television production of a future apocalyptic world  in which the characters endure such great suffering and despair and yet continue to survive in the hope of creating a better future.   The human dilemma in a nut shell.  Ever persistent and resilient we are within our humanity.      

I wrote this poem in the haiku style of poetry which can be short of words yet big in meaning.   I believe that this form leads the mind to it's own unique insights of the same theme.
