A Timeless Battle

by JaM   Nov 25, 2013


In the greens that brought warmth,
only the white cold remains to decorate.
Stirring from behind the window pane,
sits a woman pondering her fate.

Peering out above the world absently,
she falls into the depths of thought.
Pleading to nothing but the emptiness,
she cries for all she has fought.

It seems as though her war is endless,
being blinded by each victorious battle.
Happiness seeps further away each time,
leaving her to a maddening prattle.

Hope, begins to feel foolish to her,
yet she holds on tightly to the flame.
Even in nothing, she believes something-
that all of this must change.

    Very hopeful words, out of sad contemplative thoughts.

    I like what you say here because it seems in the start you are saying that you were happier now you are sad. I like the use of the window as well because I think it's nice to look out of it when we thimk about our lives. Our thoughts always seem to grow more and more when we are sad. Life is truly a battle and we will win and lose. Happiness is very hard to find as well. So when it embraces us we should not push it away at all. I like the wording in the third stanza here. You show the reader the eyes of a character that is struggling. Overall I love the tone through out. You stay consistant throughout. Well written
