Visual Poem

Original Copy:


Gusty winds blow through my face

As withered leaves crumple at my feet

A subtle bird delicately lands before me

Hope is a creature that soars in the sky

Fluttering its wings like an angel

I find myself chasing aspiration

The pursuit constantly haunting me 

I gaze into the sky and see the bird dancing amongst the clouds

And wonder when I will be able to dance so gracefully

With movements as swift as a coursing river

Will I ever be able to grasp it?

As I take each step I begin to feel a million miles closer…

I slip on a puddle- SPLASH!


A burning fire inside me runs wild as I continue my pursuit

The bird is perched on the branch of a towering tree, gazing through my soul

My greatest fear of heights is now staring me in the face

With each grasp of a branch I inch towards my goals

I climb, I climb, I climb

Hope is finally mine
