Horizon

AuburnScribbler

One hundred thousand new stars; are born in the sky,

Now that they have parted, we try not to cry,

As for them, and for us, we now have to look ahead,

Else it won’t just be our bodies; that will end up dead.

 

Millions of tiny glasses, we will sip from with hope,

To clear away infestation, to make our potent soap,

There’s a shine in the horizon, that will come to us soon,

Like a bluebell in the meadow, in late spring it will bloom.

 

So, keep a tight hold on to those hopes and dreams,

For we are surely owed our swim in much cleaner streams,

But after we are cleansed, and our lives begin again,

Make sure via good action, that we don’t re-write this pain.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Hi everyone! I hope that you're still managing to keep the faith, and strong in the scornful sardonic sludge that is the pandemic. I haven't posted in a fair bit, due to an obvious phase of "downs", but in the words of Whitesnake - "here I go again!" I give you "Horizon", a poetic statement, saying that there will be better things to come, and that we have a responsibility not to re-write such a catastrophic blunder that is Covid-19. I hope that you enjoy it, and please stay safe everyone.

          Wonderful words Ben, lets hope that we "don't re-write this pain."

            Thank you Andy, I feel that "don't re-write this pain" is the key line here, we need to move on positively, as we have all been stuck in this sad rut for far too long. Hope that all is well.

            fantastic!
            grounded in all things depressingly real, while managing
            to depict that solace glint in our horizon of hope...
            such a wonderful read, really brightened my dreary Friday morning,
            what a timely write as well,
            thank you for sharing dear Poet
