Hope

Poet's Note: I have absolutely no idea why I'm posting this- it's absolute rubbish. But for some reason, I think we all need it. So once you get past how cliché it is, and how awful the wording is, I hope you manage to gather some meaning out of it.


Hope

Let me see something in the darkness

The flicker of the candlelight

I pray for it to never stray from my sight

I pray for the light to never waver

Let me take my candle and shine it

Not just for myself

But let me light the candles of my friends,

And enemies and strangers too.

Let me fill the world with our quivering lights

Some burn strong and bright

Some are frail and weak

But together they glow in sheer brilliance.

Let me prevent the inevitable

Of a candle being extinguished

By snide, isolation and false truth.

Let these victims see and share my light.

Let me hold my candle high

For all to see

I pray that you see my candle.

I pray that you share it’s light.
