Hope is a dangerous thing,
a spark that dares to bloom
amid the shadows of the unknown.
Yet, it’s hope alone that shapes our dreams
from the fabric of fear,
weaving light into the darkness.

As I step into the world,
I see countless souls, their hands clasped,
praying, wishing, hoping
in the midst of peril.
Walking down these streets of yearning,
I watch as they flirt with danger,
each act a bold defiance
against the void that pulls them.

I wonder, must we embrace the edge
to feel the thrill of hope?
Must we dance with danger
to taste its bittersweet promise?

Why does hope bind itself to risk,
and why does fear give hope its wings?
Is it the peril that makes us feel alive,
the tempest that stirs our dreams,
the danger that makes us dare to hope?
