Glaring Hope

I wake up from my sleep, and still it is dark

I looked around, but its silence that only bark

The world seems to stop, being somewhere lost

I pinched me hard, to end the nightmare

But the wound prevailed in my skin so bare.

I walked out and saw the stars fading

I found moon, behind the clouds, hiding

I waited waited, but there seem no end

Of the stillness, for the movement ahead.

The time is too busy to bring any transition

The height, it seems, has lost its culmination

The road, perhaps, is looking for the destiny

The future might be, searching for some testimony.

I here, stand all by my own

No one to be seen, nowhere to go

Hoping for the world to move ahead

Praying to the present to be once more glad;

To erase the dark, and move into a new light

To retrieve itself, and let the birds sing happily

But my prayers remain unanswered

Everything everywhere seems cadaverous.

Everything is quenched, save one thing

The hope that glows in my heart so deep.
