Rays of Hope

Alive in dreary thoughts,
There I was, lonely and lost.
Nothing to look forward to,
but the past kept pushing me too.

Friends are far off,
fending for their own cause.
Life is endearingly miserable,
Leading towards the altars of hell.

Time runs away,
taking along the light of my day,
As I enter the realm of dark,
Fear stirs its head, blocking any thought.

Walking through the darkness,
stumbling across the way,
the enchanting fruits of failure,
threaten to lure me away.

My body is tired and weary,
sickened by these fruits.
But my heart and mind push on,
Trudging and coaxing through each step.

A spark, a light, a rope,
a small sign to the world of hope.
that is all I look forward to,
a ray of moonlight, in this dark night.
