Hello, my friend. It's me, hope, From the earth's dizzying height, I gazed longingly into the abyss And saw you lying in despair's ruins. Your spirit is broken. Allegiance sworn to faith, A soft fabric now worn ragged. I know you're fearful And plagued with paralyzing feelings Of gloom and anguish. I heard that desperate voice Within you Crying out to me From a stygian, all-consuming darkness. You're lost in a heaping rubble below, But I still see you, For you, I've written a note The wind beneath my wings Shall drift to you. With my message, I aim to pull you out From the undertow of desolation, To ease your mind As things aren't as bad as they seem. Bathe in my scintillating light! I promise you, The veil of darkness shall lift. Now that I've found you, I will never forsake you. Have patience. Have faith in me And I'll give you wings To fly, to float along In the sky With me.
