Desperate Hope

“Hope becomes desperate when the view is the sun.”
	           - Quote by Poet

Tomorrow seems far away,
Today hides something needed,
Today veils something to be seen,
Tomorrow heralds a different pursuit.

There’s a call to come,
There’s a summon from the deep,
Light is leaving to another room,
Though not lost but takes another form.

Music from the other side can be heard,
A rhythm of bloom that resounds,
It reaches out its hand,
It says, not all can be savaged tomorrow.
