Hector
by Johany Solano (For Mrs. Banerjee) Poem His heart would have been Pounding Breath ragged from having to Run From the glinting of his armor, to the sweat that was Dripping To the muddy ground beneath his feet We were each there, Breath held Waiting for Hector to stop his running To face the last enemy The last enemy…. How was anyone but the gods to know that it would be the Last And then, with is last breath His thoughts were not for himself No They were for all of you, the ones who now hold Memories of him close to your hearts So remember him now in all of his glory, Hector of Troy Song Hector had been the bravest of all Fight to save us from enemies big and those small Hear them now, the arrows that fly Just as the eagles do, up there in the sky The feeling of loss was closely looming And somewhere far off the tears were blooming A mother having lost her beloved son A Fate written in the sky, weighing more than a ton And in that last breath, He finally met the hands of Death Johany is a Junior. She is an aspiring author currently working on short stories, poems, and a novel. Her love for works expands towards all types of literature, but especially classic novels. She originally wrote this piece for her World Literature class.
