This is beautifully penned! I love this a lot! The feel of this poem is light and everything that I feel while reading a book or something that has a reference to a lake. Am not a fan of the capitalized H in 'Hope', but I do understand where that is coming from. I love how powerful your descriptive methods are. The words are beautifully laid-out. The sense of amusement for that thing called hope is something we must have at dark times, at bright times. I can feel the worry and the date of being helpful in this piece. Nominated, added to favorites!

I don't know what to say apart from that the imagery and syntax all fit perfectly
