HOPE IN THE FIRE FLY

Sudden death

HOPE IN THE FIRE FLY

THE SUN ABRUPTLY STOPPED ITS GAZE 
ON MY HAPPY LIFE,
AS DARKNESS DISPERSED ITS FEAR
ON MY UNSTABLE MIND.

THAT WHICH RESIDED 
IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA
SPRANG FORTH 
FROM ITS DEMONIC HABITATION
LIKE A CHEATER ON THE END OF ITS CHASE,
SEIZING MY HEART, AND SUFFOCATING MY DREAMS .

OH! THE TWIST AND TURNS OF LIFE,
HOW UNPREDICTABLE 
THE COURSE OF THE WIND,
WHICH DRIVES THE DESIRES AND AMBITIONS 
OF FRAGILE MAN. 

BEFORE IT ALL END, I HOPE TO SEE,
JUST ONE MORE FLICKER OF LIGHT 
FROM THE FIRE FLY, 
THAT I MAY RECALL THE HAPPY TIMES,
AND THE WARMTH OF THE SUN.

WILFORD BARKER.

HI WILFORD THIS POEM IS VERY INTENSE IT IS ALSO VERY DEEP
I PRAY THAT THE OUTCOME IS POSITIVE MOVING FORWARD 
I AM SURE GOD IS IN THE PICTURE AND THAT THE ENDING WILL
BE POSITIVE LINDA.
