Hope..

Alone I am in this world,

Waiting to see the dawn of time,

With shadows passing by every moment I breathe,

And I lay wondering, did I ever commit a crime?

Sometimes I see a faint light

Rising far off upon the horizon,

With a ray of hope I am filled,

And then disappointed to find the light gone

My deeds are mine, I can’t take them back,

I search the world for a friend,

And then come by these shadows whispering in my ears,

“You are far away from the end…”

I sit and cry, I shed the tears,

I wince in pain and agony,

My heart aches and I groan in hopelessness,

And then comes an Angel and tells me,

“Son, you are lucky to walk the earth still,

The others have long but perished,

Soon your time will come to rise higher,

Then you must obey His will.”

She left me then, with a smile upon her face,

Her words, her grace I remember,

She made me smile too, for all I know,

It might just all end in an eternal glow…
