Hope
Hope
poem
Lionel Derbyshire
A dim day
Cloudy and grey.
Murky and smog
No sunlight
Coming down
Like a contract with doom.
I could not soldier on
In dire straights
And this does not bloom
On this hazy day.
Feeling nasty filthy
Abolished and adopted
I dimly view
My dinky ship to sink
I limped to and fro
But stumbled upon a
Holy dictation
A psalm of 23 ..
Which gave me hope.
Afterwards did not
Give a damn about
That awful devil
Standing in my way.
Those psalm words of hope
Were discriptive
The instructions clear
Afterwards I did not fall
In holes
The awful devil dug
On his parade today.
