So Certain (poem)

So certain of the things he didn’t see

Floating in the vast clouds

Of things he had learned

Of things he was taught

Of feelings

Of dreams

Of things which might be

-

So certain of it all

This leader of men

No fear held him back

Confidence blooming

Over streets once dark

As once strangers rushed to his name

-

So certain was he

Of the meaning of the day

The purpose behind life

The footsteps of people

Which he touched with his ear

Resounding something they had misplaced

An island of hope

-

Why shouldn’t he be

Taking the glory of so many dreams found

Restoring songs forgotten

Father of smiles

Reason for doing

I want to be something like him

-

So certain

He forgot

He was human
