HOPE

The nights then were different,

They meant adventure...

When I would look up to the sky,

And imagine that one of those sparkling diamonds

Would be mine.

Hell, maybe all of them would someday be mine.

Today, the sky looks ominous, dark clouds gathering,

Clouds of uncertainty - maybe even fear

Of whether there even exists a tomorrow!

And prompt comes the lightning and thunder,

Promising a shower of blessings,

Of Life: renewed (and better!)

To wash away my unease.

As I sit by the window,

I catch the red crack of dawn,

Of Hope, glittering and soothing.

Maybe now I should go to sleep.

Coz' the night sky promises to dazzle tonight. 😉
