Poetry: Children of Earth

by Liam

Am I at the mercy of cutting cold’s embrace?

It’s a poignant reminder that I’m still alive, ablaze.

My warm heart stands resilient, benevolent,

Unyielding to doubt, threat, or negligence.

From the periphery, cold comes, stealthy and sly,

Seeping through skin, causing a quiet cry.

Fingers, toes, cheeks, nose, all succumb,

As it merges into my core, freezing me too numb.

I then gather strength, a battle begins,

Facing this cold, as determination wins.

Gaze fixed upon the warming ray,

Love’s radiance, these cold doubts it’ll slay.

Love that burns as worth’s unwavering counterpart,

The flame of eternal hope, a beat of an inspired heart.

This legacy I’ll hand down, a gift to embrace,

For all the children of Earth, irrespective of race.
