"Your Bird"

Hope is the feeling that many people believe in to fight their everyday battles. If its to work throughout the day or to even eat and live in an safe environment. Whatever your specific  “hope” is, its what your soul and mind grasp on to, to take that fear and trouble out of the way. “ Hope is the thing with feathers,  that perches in the soul and sings the words and never stops at all” – Emily Dickinson.          

In the poem written above, shows what hope means to that specific person. The poet  writes, “hope is the thing with feathers”.  She is comparing “Hope” to a bird. Whenever this poet thinks of a bird she thinks of joy and happiness. “That perches in the soul and sings the words and never stops at all”. To the poet, the bird sits in her soul and sings to her to keep fighting through the day.                                                                                                                             

To me, the poem represents something more important than just a bird. “Hope is the thing with feathers”, Represents a eagle, with its broad wings. Forcing its wings through the wind. The wings represent hope and the wind represent my worries.  “That perches in the soul and sings the words and never stops at all”.  No matter what happens in my life, my hope will be there to sing to me when I’m defeated by battle.                                                                                                                                                                                             In conclusion the poem “Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul and sings the words and never stops at all”, means different things to different people. Hope is an eagle to me that gets me through my battles. To someone else, It mean something entirely different. http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=571145315912629303&pli=1#editor/target=post;postID=3982776688857731726
