Definition of "Hope"

1) (verb) want or expect something: to have a wish to get or do something or for something to happen or be true, especially something that seems possible or likely
2) (noun) confident desire: a feeling that something desirable is likely to happen
3) (noun) wish or desire: something that somebody wants to have or do or wants to happen or be true
4) (noun) (archaic) trust: a feeling of trust

Annelise Editorial: Understanding a concept is one thing, yet feeling is another. Do we as humans need hope to survive? As a species? As individuals? What benefit does hope bring to ones sense of well being. Is having hope what emotional and mental well being is? What if hope is false? Does that make a difference? Or is hope a perception like everything else? Is hope innate or learned? Beyond definition, really, what is hope, the intangible? It is an essence. It is a siren. It is a trickster. It is alive. It is elusive. It is a giver. It is a taker. It is a seductress. It is heartbreaking. It is painful. It is false. It is a shadow.

Surrendering
~Annelise 2008

Take my soul and all I am
My body and my heart
And give me all that I can stand
Then tear me clean apart

I am ready to go to the other side
With angels and demons both
It is on this earth that I cannot abide
A god's parasitic host

Take each piece and part away
This illusory game
Keep yourself the break of day
In stone carve my name
