Prompt: Hope

Hope is a thing with feathers hopping a fiery hoop before a springtime swim towards the horizon, heedless of shoreline.

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”
― William Faulkner

“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.”
― Emily Dickinson

      I’m headed out towards the horizon as we speak in this novel; no looking back, friend.

        I have my novel outlined on my wall–to be done soon, in serial killer fashion. It’s epic madness.
