Hope

He makes his way down the street

A lonely man trodding on his feet

Ice covers the path as well as his mind

Like a formidable fortress, defending his thoughts

From the warmth and feathers perched in his chest

A tune propels itself against the stone

But it prevails and sends the tune home

 

The harsh winter night provides a haven for the darkness

As it creeps in through the seeping cold

Cars pass him with restlessness

Furthermore proving his mold

 

Currents rush beneath the concrete

And will soon make his life complete

 When the tune seems to stop

And he uncertainly makes his way to the edge

He sees a cop

But he makes his final pledge  

 

Words batter the fortress

But the ice sustains

Until something leaves its perch

And glides over the walls

A single feather falls

And brings back it all

 

A blanket drapes itself over his shoulders and wraps around his body

The ice melts and the sky reveals a starry night

The tune has returned

But it was always there

No matter how faint

Or how small

About 18richmondd

Going into my fourth year at Hebron Academy, I enjoy writing, reading, football, lacrosse, and generally all sports. I wrote a gold key winning scholastic writing award piece about my driver's license and am now the co-editor of the Hebron Magazine. I also live on a farm. I have had a lot of fun working on this blog and hopefully you all can enjoy it.

    What sparked this poem was when after heading back from a hockey game in Lewiston, I saw a man on the side of a bridge with police trying to coerce him from jumping. I tried to put myself in his shoes when writing about hope. I looked up the incident and found out that the man did not jump, so I guess there was hope.
