Hope is
                                                             a fire
                                                             that will
                                                             never die.


                                                             Burning within
                                                             barely shutting
                                                             out the cold.


                                                             A candle’s light
                                                             resisting an
                                                             ocean of smothering.


                                                                     Surviving.
