To Fight Alone Poem by Barry Middleton

To Fight Alone

Rating: 4.0


the cold will make me pray
the cold will make me
lonely in a crowd

the cold is desolate
a friend can only suffer
with me here

the fight is solitary
I wrap my arms
around myself unseen

I whisper to the dark
to light a fire
to bring the sun again

still the wind must blow
and so I shake
and hold to visions now

I close my eyes to see
a palm
a tropic breeze and paradise
