Nice post. Hope is omnipotent. From here we can start a story- Lost deep in the forest, the boy was certain death was inevitable. Just then the moon rose, and in its light a strange awareness stirred—filling him with a sudden spark of hope.

This is a prose poetry about hope.

Glück is a genius. She both expresses the narrator (mother's) sense of loss/fear with equal sympathy to the daughter's joy of new beginnings. The imagery describing the familiar (and now waning) familiarity of Spring is gorgeous.
