Old Metal Cross

Contributed by matariel on Sunday, 26th April 2009 @ 03:43:12 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems

Climbing a mountain
A bright-haired boy, his sister and his brother
His father with the backpack, their water with his mother
Wonderful

They reach the summit
In this tropical atmosphere, stands a giant metal cross
White, tall, and overgrown, its base covered with moss
Beautiful

These are happy days
A family together; still young, ready to brave what's to come
The boy takes a swig from the waterbottle as if it was rum
Satisfied

The boy looks up the cross
Its welcoming arms outstretched, unbothered by rain, wind or storm
It seemed like a giant guardian to him, its unencumbered metal form
Awesome

The family stands together
The symbol of their commonality looming in the background
And take a photo, with the camera they always carry around
Together

But they grew up;
Although they are now apart, they're together
And even now they stand together in the weather
All's fine

And the boy looks back
At that old photograph, and remembers that cross
If his family's there, no matter what, nothing is lost
And everything will be...

Alright

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
