Hope

(By Dreaming Ace)

What is Hope?

What does it look like?

Or taste like?

Or maybe we should ask 

What it feels like?

What is Hope?

In our bleak days?

In our joyous days too?

Is it always there?

Or does it travel to other realms?

What is Hope?

Who has know Hope's touch?

Who knows the sound of Hope?

Who is able to create Hope

Out of whole cloth?

What is Hope?

What does it look like?

Or taste like?

Or maybe we should ask

What it feels like?

A personification of Hope is Hob Gadling:

I've hated every second of the last 80 years, every bloody second. You know that?

So do you still wish to live?

Are you crazy? Death is a mug's game. I got so much to live for.

That might be the only thing I've learned after 500 years: People are almost always better than you think they are. Not me, though. Still the same as ever.

A personification of  Hope is The 11th Doctor

“I am and always will be the optimist. The hoper of far-flung hopes, and the dreamer of improbable dreams."

“The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. the good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things or make them unimportant.”

“Letting it get to you. you know what that’s called? Being alive. Best thing there is. Being alive right now is all that counts.”

A personification of Hope is the Legends of Tomorrow

You won’t be doing it alone.

We are all just trying to figure out this being human thing together.

It’s not always going to be easy.

And you know sometimes you’ll feel like you’re out of your mind

Or that the darkness is too much to bear.

But it’s worth fighting the darkness to discover who you really are.

And not just for yourself.

So you can create a better world for everyone.

Now, you’re gonna make some mistakes.

There’s no formula to guide the way.

No destiny to surrender to.

It’s not about being perfect.

It’s about doing what you know is right.

And having a hell of a good time doing it.

That’s what it means to be alive.

And to be a Legend.
