The Shatters Of Hope Poem by Ernesto Torres

Hope is a lucid dream
something that seems
so close touch,
but it burns so much

It burns deep inside
to know its so far
like a receding tide
sneaking away away so afar

The more you reach
the more you break
and shatter
till nothing else matters

lying in the remains
and feeling the pain
in a form of a pain
confirming what you fear

That the shatters of hope
is all you can hold
and hopefully mold
nope...

You let go
and let life tow
until you find a new light
and go into flight
again..


(tow-refers to let life defeat you)
