James Fraser Poet Quatrain

High Hopes

Before we implode or reach cluster one
What do you want from me, as you humans dry run
We are Poles apart in what you and I do
Marooned you will be, if you don't turn to be true

I am only but a sphere, but your wearing the inside out
Our futures lost for words as we enter life's drought
There is time for dialogue to take it back
Will it be a great day for freedom, or will we enter our black

Around the table of powers we have to keep talking
We had high hopes when we stooped, we may cease to stop walking
It beggars belief that we are heading into strife
Maybe one day we'll acknowledge, that were coming back to life

Andrea Dietrich November 21, 2010 at 4:23 PM we live in a scary and high pressure world, James. You think of these things and it's commendable. I don't even know how to put my thoughts about it all into words. WEll, have a nice new week coming up. Time for me to get off here at last. LUv, Andrea James Fraser December 11, 2020 at 12:49 PM Going back through oldies Andrea, and this poem was written using the track titles from 'Pink Floyd's' album, the 'Division Bell' xx

Audrey Haick November 19, 2010 at 2:58 PM Are we even listening, James? Even with nature speaking, urging us, we seem to be walking blindly. Awesome! Love, Audrey

David Smalling November 18, 2010 at 8:23 AM I think you have established a voice in these poems, the ghost in you is pranking out, and this is what good poetry is about.

Carolyn Devonshire November 14, 2010 at 1:57 PM This sounds like a relationship that has found two people further apart after a period of time. It happens so often, James. Hope you're not feeling down now, my friend. Love, Carolyn
