Perplexed

It's in the darkest of
Nights,
That you hold onto the
Thinest of hopes.

Clutch it too hard
And
It'll vanish in your
Palm.

Let it flow
And
It'll get past
You.

So tell me..
What do you do?

Very nice contrasts in this poem. I particulary liked darkest vs. thinest. One would not usually think of the comparison.

.:A:. - Really? That never occured to me. I was gonna think of 'Frailest', but somehow the fingers typed somethign else! You're still traveling?

Does hope slip away or does the mind give up.....

Perhaps that will answer your question

Anon - Our minds always give up. We choose not to chase.

Good you went for thinest - it is much more powerful in this context!

Yes, I'm still traveling.

ubermensch - I can't agree with you on that. I don't know many things about myself that I'm yet to discover, we never know the next minute. You mean to say those are all not ours?

.:A:. - Yeah, I was reading it again. And you are right. Lucky you, you're getting to travel alot. My feet are itching to get on the move again!
