Poem June 8 2024

 

Hopeless

 

Where is joy?

 

Gone away today

 

Missing the past

 

Seeing the past through realistic eyes

 

Illusions gone

 

The past I dreamt gone

 

Joy gone

 

Hopeless

 

Today I stand on sand

 

Chaos on every side

 

I am to be the one who brings order

 

I am to defeat chaos

 

But it is a striving after wind

 

I see defeat everywhere

 

I can delay it but not evade it.

 

Hopeless

 

The future seems dark.

 

The dominos are falling.

 

The answers are problems.

 

The problems have no answers.

 

Hopeless

 

Yet

 

There is the ONE

 

The ONE who defeated death

 

The ONE who made death a way of having HOPE.

 

The ONE who has promised chaos will not win.

 

The ONE who is the way, truth, and life.

 

HE is the ONE hope.
