A Christian's Walk: Hope Passes (part 1)
Hopes trapped within the dream of an image
Each dream cursing the reality of what is
The weakened mind perceiving only fragments
And all hope passes as it slowly fades to dust
Dreaded screams echo through the empty heart
Sorrowful sighs resounding off the halls of the mind
hushed whispers speak only of internal torment
And all hope passes as it slowly fades to dust
Ill-perceived thoughts on what might have been
Inconceivable ramblings taking over pure thought
A begging plea of freedom from this constant suffering
And all hope passes as it slowly fades to dust
The barren landscape of the soul crying out
Torturous agonies dying to be fully released
Yesterday's hold gripping with absolute fear
And all hope passes as it slowly fades to dust
Notions of dreams, and dreams of hope have never existed
And all hope passes as it slowly fades to dust
All hope passes as it slowly fades
Hope passes as it fades
Hope passes
Hope is gone.....

'And all hope passes as it slowly fades to dust'
i like the repeat of that line. do we see when hope passes, or do we just realize that it's already gone? i read this poem as if i was hope slowly fading away, as everything in the world stood still, unaware that i was within its reach. i have no idea why i'm thinking this, but i am...so i might as well tell you that. ;-)
i enjoyed reading this, as it is one of those poems that makes you stop and think and wonder, if hope really exists, or if it's just another name. |

| Very sombre and dirgelike. I agree about the repetition of the one ine, it works very well. something about the last line didn't work for me, though. The hope is gone thing just seemed very jarring, and I'm not sure why. |

I really like the rephrame of 'And all hope passes as it slowly fades to dust '
Hopes death as the first part makes very much sense and is very realatable! |
