Hope
Darkness falls across the shadow’s edge
Where I stand when the midnight hour is approaching
And it is leading me to the verge of fear
Shivering on a cold winter night with echoes of cries
Pain reverberates through my heart as tears bringing to my eyes
And captured with desperation and loneliness
I am submerging in my feeling
As fear shot through my vein
When a needle of guilt attacking to my own conscious
From the midst of my dream
Is it day or night? Is good or bad?
I am a song with no melody
I am a poem with no rhyme
And words with no forms are falling from my lips
My dream is shattered as I am feeling devastated
Like a boat that lost its directions
My heart is lost for the giving of love
But only left for the bitterness and hopelessness
I am no longer wishing for the blessing of life only
for death
But hope has taken me back to earth and encouraged me to wait
for the devastating moment to come to with a rewarding one
Oh! Nature is beside me and I can feel her smiling at me
Like a blue-violet flower lifting her head as the like river continues to
flow as life shall be carried on
I then discover the light of my dream reach to the blue sky
Like a blooming flower with a pink and white streak on the horizon
Greeting me with pure joy and pride
I then burst into tears of my victory like the prize in triumph bringing home
Ah! At last, I get to drink the sweet wine that I’ve never tasted before
