Glimmer of Hope

The days of bleeding light are disgusting Endless vacations around the sun Just to put me in the emptiness and the vortex To let the reflected light and fog penetrate The roots of suffocating time So that we may be granted a new beginning. I'm trying to find a way to break free I'm a free-flying bird in correlations drifting off into the horizon wishing for the sky, but having far more. Then sped up and pulled me behind From the inside out, I can sense my wings The beating of the heart was quieted Singing with my arms wide open. Written: January 31, 2023

From all impinging sorrows and trials, we should break free into a world seamless like a free flying bird. Your poem breathes the message that even amid tribulations, one shouldn't leave aside hope. Powerful poem.... dear friend !
