Light At Tunnel's End

He saw a hazy little light
A dream or a reality in sight?
Little light at the tunnel’s end 
Stay or move on? … 

A solitary trip set up a story
The late-night trail lay empty
Little light at the tunnel’s end
Stay or move on? ... 

In the silence, he used his cane  
Hauled his unfit leg down the lane
Little light at the tunnel’s end 
Start and move on? … 

Left behind him, a dusky tunnel
The light of hope at the front end
Pulls him toward the tunnel’s end
Don’t die in a tunnel…
