That day shall come

 

 

 

 

Scattered on dusty winds

zephyrs of despair,

saddened wings of ashen crows

above crying grey skies

morn the sorrow

that weighs down your heart

on lonely ground

with folded arms

and defiant whispers

 

Still the softness

of your soul

flies in circular wisdom,

sailing to new heights,

catching the breeze

of wishing wonders

under your arms

For that day shall come

when you smile…again

From you mouth to god's ear as they say. I absolutely love the picture. Life is filled with highs and lows and the idea that there is a breeze on the horizon to raise us to new heights gives us hope. It's a lovely poem Jack.

A fierce and stated piece that relates well, also there is a hint of the academic shining through, well done.

This touched my heart Jack...sheesh, zephyrs of despair, what's more melancholy than that I wonder? Glad that last stanza soared with the wind. Always a great read no what subject you tackle my friend.
