DESPAIR OF THE EARLY MORNING <br /> <br />Despair of the early morning <br />Despair of the darkness <br />Despair of the Despair <br />Despair of Old Age <br />Despair of the road closed <br />Despair of nothing to do <br />Despair of nowhere to go <br />Despair of endless errands <br />Despair of money running out <br />Despair of the message of Despair <br />One transmits to those one loves. <br /> <br />Despair that has to be resisted <br />Despair that the light of the day <br />Will help me overcome <br />Despair I will pray my way out of <br />Despair I will in the course of the day <br />Sometime overcome. <br /> <br />Not the great Despair <br />The unending Despair <br />The final Despair. <br /> <br />The small Despair of who I am and where I am now. <br />The Despair that still can be resisted, <br />By the writing of a few awkward lines <br />Early in the morning.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/despair-of-the-early-morning/
