Best Seasonshope Poems
I saw it today, the first wildflower of the season,
It filled my heart with unending joy,
Finally after the barren winter, Life;
Life in the form of a vibrant Wildflower,
Yellow in color with petals seeking the sun,
Feeling it’s warmth after the long cold winter;
I saw in it Hope, hope that winter has ended,
No more snow, no more frigid cold,
No more cloudy and freezing days,
With the chilling wind that pierces your very soul,
Finally sun; and warmth and color;
Winter is so desolate and bare,
The lack of color depresses me;
I need sun, I need to feel it’s heat on my face,
And now I have hope that it’s here to stay,
Here for the next few seasons at least;
Bringing with it the roasting summer,
And days on the lake, oh how I missed them;
Stretched out on a beach towel,
Listening to the waves and the gulls;
In this one flower I find redemption…
Finally,
I can fill a page or two
with professions of how beautiful
the snow is,
how it's what we prayed for
and what we were promised
from inside the walls of our detention cells.
It's so beautiful
can you not believe it?
I heard it was to keep on falling
till the townsmen started calling
a-rocking the phones off their places of rest
and onto the tile
Let's hope that come tomorrow
the buildings I live my life in
have been totally smothered,
blanketed in a white so pure
that the angels themselves would take it up as garb
after just one look
and let's hope that these words
aren't just a cry for credit
and that I haven't just been spitting slop
to fill a page or two,
course I haven't even done that yet...
Good night, sky
Please keep spilling your sh1t
till the lunar eclipse;
now I'd say that's about a page.
