Analysis of Hope Again My Friend
Hope Again My Friend
warm blankets fly away
glowing pixie wings shatter
the compulsion destroys everything
charging in like a wild bull
let loose into the arena to face death
past the leering crowds
Run ! Run ! Run !
Rise in the night
alone
unable to fathom the incinerated heart
where is there to run
who is there for comfort
lie down in a shallow pool in the
darkest of night
the white gown and dirty braided bindings
emitting the only light
which slowly dissipates from within
he has come to watch on his steed
does contentedness engulf him ?
