The Empty Flagpole

by nickypoop32

Setting is See You At The Pole '05. I basically saw no one at the pole exception being myself had I carried a mirror with me constantly! so this is a poem about how I want to make a difference for God even though that seems so out of reach too many times.

Wednesday Morning 9/21/05 "See You At The Pole"

The 7 a.m. bell rings at St. Mary's (the town church)

No people gathered at the flagpole to pry

No flag to commemorate this day

As one girl sits

Haunted by the image of this empty flagpole, praying to God above

That she's tired of blending.

And she's tired of merging in…

Can this butterfly cause a hurricane?
