In Hope

I heard them say, that life is full of promises. I hear them pray, that God makes a way us to excel. I have a dream, and each morning I wake up just to give it a chase. I aim high, higher than where the moon and stars are placed. I give it a try, and the universe gives me a peak of what I can have. It's within reach, If I stretch further I can have a touch. Its all there, my heart and soul knows this and we take control. The control of life, steering with keen towards our goal. I see the light, Its shinning brighter for my eyes feel with glee. ...then it all comes crushing down.... I blink a bit and it comes crushing... down, am left lying in darkness... It was all there, now nowhere... shuttered... am drowning... How could it disappear I ask, How can it seem so near, yet so far I cannot bear, the thought of losing it before getting there... How could it lead me so closer, yet the moment I near it vanishes in thin air... how could it... Painful it is to bear, the thought of being down brings fear, my mind wanders in confusion as I strive for a better, feeling than this causing my heart to drown like it's tied to an anchor. I must wake, I must rise from this wreck, I must gather the only strength I have left to try and break, I must take heart and rise above all fear and torture that evil can make. and so I rise, in hope I find the means, to stand on two feet, again to keep my goal alive. In hope I steer dust off the dirt, I take up the sword and hold it closer to my heart, arising from the ashes and again seeking to fly, my focus now clearer and my breathe now deeper, I know I can do it and all it takes is the inner, spirit to excel above all that tries to hinder, me from achieving what I have been so eager, to find and make my whole life better. In hope I fly, In hope I try, In hope I strive, In hope all I seek I shall find. ..and so I go, head held high and full of hope, heart pumping harder and mind set on my goal, I know, that failing doesn't mean the end of the road, I know, that the journey of life is full of such falls, I know, that the bad sometimes comes our way just to make us strong, I know, that the only way I can get there is by filling my heart with eternal hope. I know... that in hope, all, is never, lost.
