When all hope is lost, what do we rely on?
Write a poem about what we turn to when we lose hope. Explore the emotions and challenges involved and how they're overcome.
Certainty
There is little that is certain in this world
The grandest cities are reduced to ash
Rivers dry and mountains become plains
Hearts are haphazardly shattered like glass
Trust becomes so easy to destroy
It seems some people do it just for fun
And each time your city is restored
You find a new disaster has begun
What do you cling to that will not bend?
For your own flesh is liable to fail
Your prayers have turned to fruitless screams
Repeated calls to no avail
But harken to the rising of the sun!
Her faithful salutation to the day
And though her absence is felt in black nights
You can guarantee she will not go away
