what are they but puff, and emptiness, and peril of falling?

A Product of Forced Tutoring
Downtown
Middle of winter, midnight
Voices still echo on the street
But none come and whisper
"Are you okay?"
Sitting
She stares out from her spot on the bench
Like a bird who is ready to fly
Yet the teacher left too soon
She, the forsaken
Hope
springs again with the reminder
All is not as it should be
but there is good left
a rescue at the break of dawn
Middle of winter, midnight
Voices still echo on the street
But none come and whisper
"Are you okay?"
Sitting
She stares out from her spot on the bench
Like a bird who is ready to fly
Yet the teacher left too soon
She, the forsaken
Hope
springs again with the reminder
All is not as it should be
but there is good left
a rescue at the break of dawn
it's a promise
"I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places....." (Isaiah 45:2&3)
