Poetry: Hope

by Suja

Created on: April 25, 2009

Shore It Up

-




Every once in a while

A wave comes along

Rocks the steady boat




Every once in a while

A storm comes along

And sweeps it all away




Every once in a while

A curse slams down

And crushes what was




Every once in a while

A shooting pain strikes

Numbing and baffling




Every once in a while

There comes a time

When peace of mind

Lies shattered




When pictures of yore

Are cobbled together

And hope is all that's left

Hang in there

The tide will recede

All will be well

Shore up that boat
