The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

The air is crisp

The wind blowing life to an end

Warning of harsher things to come

 

I walk, bundled up

The Toronto skyline bright

In the chilly morning

 

I stop

Tilt my head back

And take a deep breath

 

Voices of the past

Reach out to me

In the fingers of the air

 

Brushing my face

Telling of horrors

And loves past

 

Reminding that with the winter

And the telling of death

There is hope

 

Hope for the new

The beginning

The light

 

The spring will come

And the winter blahs

Will fade away

 

The buds will burst

The birdies chirp

The children play

 

I spread my arms

And fall forward

Into the arms of the air

 

The air rushes thru my hair

The tears pushed from my eyes

My cheeks becoming chapped

 

Submurged

Engulfed by the water

My clothes heavy

 

I sink

Looking up I see

The tower that says much

 

The dreams of man

The triumphs

And the failures

 

I gasp

Water rushing in

My eyes starting to blur

 

How much harsher

Could it be?

Wow. A most impressive poem. Quite powerful; I had to sit here for a moment, soaking in all it's power. It's rather vivid, and happens to have some of my favorite timeless themes of seasons. I really look forward to reading more of your work. Post more often, please!
