Courage Poem by Cigeng Zhang

Courage

Rating: 4.2


I bought a poetry book on a winter day
On the cover page I noted down the date
When the trees regenerated, I thought
I'd tell you about the courage of the poet

She said she always admired the courage of an insect
So I added my words on the page of inside -

My hands are empty and dry in winter
Like the bald trees listless and bare
But the little insect has carried his food home
Sleeping soundly in a restful secret lair...
