A Winter Night's Poem

Sitting by a fire on a winter night –
longing to see daylight –
shivering, freezing, in the icy cold –
how long can my patience hold?

“We’ll be all fine,” Father had assured –
just days before his absence we endured.
Mother had consoled me through rivers of tears –
hours before we’d face our fears – 

Cruel murderers, they blasted the streets –
riding grandly on their war tank fleets –
people dropping still by the second –
but I didn’t budge, even as Death beckoned.

Captivity chained me, dragged me along –
tell me, killers, what was my wrong?
Is it that I live in the land that you hate?
Why, why is this my fate?

Sitting by a raging fire on a chilly night –
wondering how long I’ll face this plight –
will this dark dusk ever cease?
Will I, someday, witness dawn and peace?

Dear Stasya, your expressive poem is as potent as it is poignant, especially as this plight is expressed through the perspective of a child in wartime. A vivid, soulful piece that reaches deeply inside the reader's psyche and brings the cruel face of war and death into intimate focus. Impactful poetry. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
