Blasted possibilities

Hope is a funny thing.Existing even when we will it not to. In spite of reason Or obvious evidence pointing to the contrary, It refuses to die. it fools you into thinking you are done with ityou cant feel or see it anymore. Convinced that you’ve beaten it buried it deep into the groundeven planted grass to cover it’s optimistic headyou say to yourself ‘hope has breathed its final breath, hope which dare not die …..is dead.’ Finally you can rest After all, one need not worry about the dead!You forget that hope is a funny thing. Till you are struckBy a kicked-in-the-gut feelingIt catches you unaware...a hard fast blow that leaves you reeling in shock. You realize that while it hid, it grew It spread its roots in your very core. It thrived in you and you never even knew.            Blasted possibilities! You’d tried to avoid this exact feeling, of losing something that you knownever quite really was yours. But hope is a funny funny thing, and so are blasted possibilities!
