Hope

What is it like to live?

The answer doesn't come to me

But I do know what it's like to die

Dreams and aspiration, lost in a forest

But I look at the moon and the stars

For so long I have almost forgotten

How they illuminate the darkness

And now I gaze at them once more

With all my hate and sorrow I look

Tiny lights, billions of them in the night sky

Here I am walking, a path undefined

And despite of it all, I smile to myself

Hope never looked as beautiful as the stars

Love of my life, once more into the fray we go

I am running at the edge of the world

Here, I found laughter and my dreams

Dwelling in a pool, reflections of my soul

Neither ugly nor beautiful but me all the same

My muse, the devil, ever smiling, ever laughing

I hear him sing, a hymn of a long-forgotten memory

Sand in my hands, water enveloping me, and the air in my face

And last of all the raging fire that is Life within me

I could hear his voice, the whisper of desire

I stare once more at the night sky and I know

I am temporary, I am a moment on this stage

Every scene of my life flashing in a blur

And none of it matters for I am still me

And I could hear him say, "I have always loved thee"
