Watch

poem by: Andrew Shepherd
Written on May 29, 2019

Watch the man worry 
Observe his pain
Watch the man wander
In the cold poring rain

Watch the man falter
Listen to his woes
Watch the man duck
Avoiding the blows

Watch the man crawl
Into a hole and die
Watch the man crumble
In the blink of an eye

Watch the man fall
Flat onto the floor
Watch the man roll
Into a ball and nothing more

Watch the man pray
Seeking divine love
Watch the man lift
With help from above

Watch the man stand
Slowly onto his feet
Watch the man grow
Like a flower in the heat

Watch the man reconnect
Steadily in the crowd
Watch the mans voice
Begin to talk nice and loud

Watch the man soar
Upwards strong and high
Watch the man recover
And smile to the sky
