Hope is an answer
Simple questions unanswered
Some things get lost
The simple truth is not good enough
One person’s delusion of fine
Turned into a façade
An illusion of integrity
Lost in trepidation
Is there a reason
A plan unaware
Is there a reason
A simple question unanswered
Simple truth
Not good enough
A person the delusion of fine
Façade of integrity
An opportunity misplayed
What is this reason?
People misplay these games
A competition of manipulation
Honesty thrust aside
Like smiles in the dark
Screaming cruel threats
As trust pushed aside
Hope is an answer
Tangible at times
Honesty will turn the tide
A cautious indiscretion
Smiles in the light
Coffee on the side
False laughter no longer
Humour drumming accurate
In time all wounds heal
Scar tissue visible inside
Overcoming proud
And one’s own mistakes
Excepting humanity
In others mistakes
Hope is an answer
Tangible at times

Hope, my favorite dream!
Some dreams come true.
Interesting. Intrinsically the poem presents Hope as an answer (rather than the answer). Fear, too, could be an answer. And so could other abstracts be an answer, i.e., Love.
Yes. Yes it could be. But then I woke to cold reality.
The picture I paint has room for the reader to have many interpretations depending on their experiences and background thus the power of using words with multiple meanings.
As Always thank you for your comments.
Interesting.
