Melting
Candle of Hope
Holding
careful the thin line of sanity and despair
cold
and colder are the days - nights passing by,
tender
are the mornings, gnawing are the evenings
as nightmares
fall frequently, snaking. Cutting raw.
Unmet.
Breached expectations toss events raggedly,
acceptance
due - rendered fail from the so called wise
rather
the onset of pride heightens: rile! Miles and miles
is
the old weary road. Yes, endured by a candle of hope.
Ever
- believing, the rains, the pains will be over soon
as
I've tasted heavens amidst coming and going hell
Helplessness,
frustrations flood causing tears to tumble
Weakness
quivers but I still cling to candle of hope.
In
dark silence, I desire refuge, I desire a quiet rest but
knowing
tomorrow burgeons to blossoms: hues of change.
Ah!
Chances are frugal to collated reasons - prejudiced sins.
To
where this ends, where will we be, kindly let me know?

ReplyDeleteDear Olive. At first, I thought why is it "Melting Candle of Hope" Why not Burning the candle of hope. Then it occured to me, melting is burning, which means the same thimg. You picked a hard subiject and did a great job, leaving the reader to give aid, that many can solve problem in the end, till all the candles of hope melt down to a sultion. I enjoyed the read. Thanks for sharing.
