Hope

A northern light
A starlit night
A silver flower
A determined fighter
As the plant grows in my soul 
It shouldn’t  be there, yet it holds
A new surge of strength grows inside, I feel faint
Before I know it, it begins 
Casting all fears aside 
It can hurt me, disappoint me, or
even manipulate me
But it grows 
It is determined to have its way 
So my body, in turn just obey
Hope takes over, a deadly sin
For when it starts it never ends.

Fascinating Hope as last border of the universe... Possible worlds still stay at hand in your verse.
