The Glitter of Hope

burning souls 
yearn for glory 
for time 
has come to reap 
the sweet fruits of sweat 
and the tears 
will fade 
like dried dew 
for stars 
will cast bright 
their amber 
against the darkness 
for the faint hearts to see 
hope 
in its purest form.

Thank you very much... Yes I will... I myself is battling the feeling of lack of hope... But I want to believe that somewhere out there, the sun is shining...
