Ode to Hopelessness

Ode to Hopelessness

A Poem by Christian Meffert
"

I'm sensing a theme with my stuff.

"
On an Autumn evening, I walked down the path to my last affairs
It was the eve of the ending week and thoughts of nothingness leapt blissfully across my mind
As I made my way, the warmth of the fading day mixed with the cool breeze to wrap me in a comforting hold around my body
As the golden trees across from me glowed in the light of the dying sun
A feeling most familiar to me infiltrated the forefront of my mind
It was known to me but I did not know why
I searched my heart and memories for clues to the mystery I had set for myself
It was as I neared those sunbathed leaves that the world became clearer than it has ever been
A lost feeling had now been found and with it came both relief and terror
Childhood forgotten, not the memories but the sensations
At first I reveled in my deduction, joyous and alive
I held my recovery for as long as I thought possible
This was before my wondrous revelation came crashing down
This feeling was lost
A fragment of a better time remembered
