Is there light?
If so -
Do show! do show!
For its fair sparkle,
Bringing hope to heart,
Is strangely faint
And
Frighteningly dim.
In utter night
Despair suffocates:
Its cunning crows
Creep in, around, surround,
Gripping
Intent of Love
And
Will of Good.
Their wings fold into
Beastly, looming hood.

But come now;
Is there something there? -
It flickers off and on,
It's hard to grasp...
A candlelight?
A glimpse of dawn?
A torch?
Oh, how its shifting gleam
A desperate heart does scorch!
A fleeting hope for Hope
It seems to freely grant:
So scary to accept -
The Dream appears scant...

An offering there is -
To let the Light inside...
Well, maybe this warm breeze
Will promise a new ride
To realms of peace and shine
Where Love and Joy entwine?
