hope

hold on and the pain will end

Gliding alongside the shadows

Leering the kindly tempest of the heart

Blinded by the sullen feelings

Coaxing the sparkling lantern

To shed its luminous rays upon me 

Lay me a road of roses through dusky forest 

Pull me hard pull me softly

Don't rescue me so hastily

Through the grimy well toss me a rope 

Rope which i shall hang on so tight 

A rope of hope
