Unwaver

I see, even dimly,
a reflection of my misery.
A lone mountain in the background,
truly represents me.
Even that ripple of hope on the water of life
seems impossible now.
But I will surely stretch my hand out
and take it at face value.
For I will not give up.
That reflection of misery that I see...
will not hinder me.

Renewal

Here's another:

I am complete, my life renewed!
I could sing praise, to all who would listen,
and bow at their feet, without a care in the world.
I might shout a joyous exultation,
to the ones I love,
and thank God,
for all of the above.

Crushed Dreams

And another:

Without a melody, I sing.
Without a tune, I hum.
Without a voice, I speak.
Without a dream...without a dream...
I am done.

Hey, post these one at a time. Give each of these the space and time they deserve, and for people to address them accurately.

I'll tackle the last poem:

It's good, very good. I'm not a fan of the repetition in L4 and the title could show a bit fresher word choice, but otherwise I think the piece is a right gem and good work besides. Thanks. =)

These could be longer and stronger I think... but not sure exactly how. I think you meant "exultation" in the second one. First one is best.

All right, thanks. Changed the "Exultation" thing.
