Despair Poem by Leslie Ledoux

Despair

Rating: 5.0


Despair rides on the wings of an eagle
It travels to and fro
In all directions, it does fly
No one knows just where it will go

With keen eyes, it does see
The deepest, darkest place
Hidden from a soul on fire
Never to see its face

As the wailing and moaning
With each flap of its wing
Justice as distant as the forlorn sea
Why me, why me, the heart does sing?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Written after losing my brother to pancreatic cancer. The question he asked, will never be answered. It breaks my heart.
