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.
