Lost And Alone Again

Slowly making its way from behind
The shadows of  the trees,
I see a ray of light, a beam of hope
To fulfil our needs.
The light of a blessing that was spoken so long ago
A light that had laid dormant all for all these years why
I do not know.
Locked in the hopes and dreams of all of us who can recall,
Remembering  those  who answered the call.
The call  to band together and to carry on,
Only sadly one day that  light was gone.
The idea, the belief, the reason long  gone.
That spark of light never seemed to come  back again,
And  we mourn for it as one mourns a long  lost friend. 
And now I wonder as I see this  tiny beam  of  hope work its way through 
The trees, 
Is this the one we have been waiting for
Is this the one who will lead?
Will he bring back the passion and the ideals we have kept deep within?
Or will we just continue to stumble 
Lost and alone again.
