A Light In the Darkness

Through the endless clouds 
Of this dark cave that surrounds me
A ray of light shines before me
Its bright aura glimmers through the darkness
Forming a road of light to guide me 
Through the sea of darkness
Its golden light shows
That they way ahead is clear
And the gates of hope are safe to pass
But even though this guiding light
Provides me with a new hope
The darkness behind has imprisoned me
To this realm of shadows
The light of hope is so near but yet so far
And the chains of darkness keep me
From the road to hope that lies ahead
