THE ONLY HOPE
THE ONLY HOPE
I sat at my own desk feeling great fear
of earthly life and where it would lead to.
I found nothing was sure about this life
which was an empty road towards a copse.
Around me l saw none that would give cheer,
not even those dumb, ruminating beasts.
Their food was queer; none else were there but rocks
that were unthoughtful and completely staunch.
Nothing except a puff of wind passed by.
It did not tell me what its purpose was.
From where it came to where it blew some leaves.
No glimpse it could unfold about that copse.
I walked towards that spot led by a bird
which was snow white and filled me with delight.
That bird could sing a song that was so strong
and had a tuneful sound that fit my mind.

Joseph it saddens me to see this poem was overlooked. Please be sure to read and comment on others writing so they are inclined to reciprocate and discover the wisdom and skill with which you construct these elegant and insightful poems. There is subtle vulnerability in the details here that resonates.
