Window of Hope
A Poem by
Neythan Cardoso
Have you ever felt like there was no other way out?
I have his construction of my sadness Tightly gripped and the white in my hands Woven ever so perfectly and spiraled with care The smell of rain fresh in the air This window I have created I peek And I see paradise, I see the trees blowing in the wind I pull away and everything is dry and dark So much sorrow in the air Staining my world into a deceased grey I peek my head through the window and I begin to feel the breeze I can feel the warmth of the sun on my skin And I close my eyes and I see the Rays peeking though my closed eyelids I take one last big breath and I leap into my window my sanctuary that I have created I release my grip and condemn my position And slowly my vision fades And the sound of the breeze and the ray of the sun begin to evaporate My life My world Where is it going? This isn't what I wanted This isn't what I painted "My son why have you done this?" I look down in my all white robes The lord next to me and my guardian angel sobbing The glorious gates of heaven before me "My child you may not enter my kingdom" And I questioned why He responded that I have committed many sins and my heart was heavy So I plunged into darkness Not into hell This darkness is absolute silence I hear the cries of my mother Screaming for her child yelling to the lord to welcome me into the gates of heaven and live for eternity Screaming to the day where we will meet again when we will finally be together for eternity My grandmother with rosary in hand My father on the floor My youngest brother lips purple for his most important young man in his life has left him behind. Faces of insane confusion for as why I have left them behind on earth I hear the shouts of pain and sorrow forever and into tomorrow And into a deep slumber I fall and fall Forever.
