Hope is a Dog

©October 14th, 2017

By Vijaya Sundaram

Hope is not “the thing with feathers
That perches in your soul.”
Nor is Hope a fluttering thing
At the bottom of a jar.


Hope is the forlorn Dog

Awaiting the return

Of those who’ve gone away 

Into the vast Unknown.



Hope is the Waiting Dog

Whose only job is this: 

Round up her family

And keep them safely home.
