Hymn of Hope

In this series, Hymn of Hope encapsulates the emotive essence that defines Emily Shay’s art. The painting depicts a serene path through fields of lavender hues, inviting viewers into a meditative journey of hope and trust. Each flower blooms as a hymn, rooted in the soil of waiting—a reminder that growth is found not in haste, but in surrender.

This original piece celebrates the sacred middle—the place where hope dwells—and speaks to the beauty of becoming, flowing, and blooming in harmony with life’s unseen choreography. Hymn of Hope is more than a painting; it is a soulful testament to the resilience and trust we cultivate as we embrace life’s quiet yet powerful rhythms. Owning this artwork not only enhances the beauty of your space but also nourishes the heart and soul of its collector.

““Hymn of Hope” is a visual poem, an ode to the journey of trust, patience, and growth. Inspired by the wisdom of nature and the beauty of surrender, this piece reflects the strength found in waiting and the flow of becoming. I invite you to step into this sacred moment—to walk among the lavender hues and feel the rhythm of hope, flowing and blooming within you.

“I walk a trail that softens beneath my feet,
threaded through fields of lavender hues.
Each flower, a hymn to hope,
rooted deep in soil that knows waiting—
it is not the absence of motion,
but the rhythm of surrendering trust.

The sky blushes with the tender hues of dawn,
a veil of becoming stretched across the horizon.
Here, in the liminal glow,
I am neither beginning nor end,
but the sacred middle—hope’s dwelling place.

The path does not demand my hurry,
But beckons gently,
like water weaving through rock,
like a flower bending to light.
And it’s wisdom reminds me:
to flow is to become,
to grow is to trust in the
unseen choreography.

It is here in the waiting, where we are reshaped.
And in our unfolding, we discover who we’ve always been.

Threaded through the lavender hues,
I seek to be a flo/wer— flowing, trusting + blooming in hope.”
