Faint Hope
Faint hope, forgotten long ago,
Has risen from inside
And broken free to shine and grow
Like sea waves stretching wide.
It lay within, unknown until
I dared to bring it out
To sing its song and voice its will,
All free and all about.
I nearly let it die alone
Within my darkest dream,
Until I heard its limpid tone
And saw its lucid gleam.
I’m now much gladder and relieved
Of burden and of needs
Which hurt far more than I believed
And sowed pernicious seeds.
The world is free again, at last,
To take me in its fold,
Before the void’s long shadow’s cast
To cage me in the cold.
