I Want To Perceive The World In New Ways Poem by DM W
I Want To Perceive The World In New Ways
I want to perceive the world in new ways
Like the angels. Though many hollow graves
Beckon, and the darkness breeds as light fails,
Such is the chaos of this modern age,
Spring time's fresh buds can still emerge again
From broken days. It's a matter of time.
Despite despair, the eternal design
Will be revealed, as brief black clouds pass by.
The scales shall be removed from people's eyes,
And superficial realms will fade and die.
Dominic a poem that ticks all the paramount poetry boxes and beautifully so. And again hope is woven securely in. My favourite virtue. Giving me the excuse to quote Andy's mind blowing letter to Red from The Shawshank Redemption and my favourite lines... 'Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.' Some poems are eternal, this is one of those chosen few.

Sometimes, in more cynical moods, I like to quote Woody Allen: ' I felt a lot better when I give up hope! '
