Hopeless
Poem June 8 2024
Hopeless
Where is joy?
Gone away today
Missing the past
Seeing the past through realistic eyes
Illusions gone
The past I dreamt gone
Joy gone
Hopeless
Today I stand on sand
Chaos on every side
I am to be the one who brings order
I am to defeat chaos
But it is a striving after wind
I see defeat everywhere
I can delay it but not evade it.
Hopeless
The future seems dark.
The dominos are falling.
The answers are problems.
The problems have no answers.
Hopeless
Yet
There is the ONE
The ONE who defeated death
The ONE who made death a way of having HOPE.
The ONE who has promised chaos will not win.
The ONE who is the way, truth, and life.
HE is the ONE hope.
