[bodytext] => The Hope Within the Light Beyond the flattering glimpses of hope, Dwells the trembling reality of a fragile soul Entangled in the chains of wishes gone astray, Trapped in the deceitful realm of an unorganized dream Too stubborn to come true, Captured by the gloom of a lonely day The whispers within their soul will say…. I understand you, Willow Tree— How your roots are grounded in the soil of pain As your soul drags on and tears remain That constant burden and heavy weight Upon the branches of your faith— But still you must endure the rain, The pulling of the wind’s disdain… Pulling you away from the hope worth keeping, Yes! Yes! I understand your weeping. I know your sorrow, Silent Shadow; Your happiness hanging on the gallows Mimicking who you wish to be But who can know, And who will see The tears that flow in darkness there There beyond what you can bear…. Beyond the screams of misery, Hidden in darkness silently? Misfortune’s out to steal your life, And rob you of your wishful light! It keeps you in the darkness crying. No one sees your soul is dying. No one knows what sorrow’s taking! No one knows how bad it’s aching To shout the name of destiny! I hear your haunted symphony! I hear that dreadful tune within The strings of woeful violins! I feel your failure, Fallen Leaf— How you fell down to The ground of grief… Fell down there To be stepped on still. I know how that failure feels. For beyond my flattering glimpses of hope, Dwells the trembling reality of my fragile soul Entangled in the chains of wishes gone astray, I’m trapped in the deceitful realm Of an unorganized dream Too stubborn to come true, Captured by the chance of another day The whispers within my soul will say…. Please understand my troubled soul And the music it seems That sorrow composed, But know I want to live my life… Know I still believe the light— I understand the willow tree— The silent shadow, the fallen leaf…. Though sorrow tells such constant lies And the wind will witness my lonely cries Know that life is in my eyes. For I have to be the midnight moon, I have to shine amidst the gloom. I have to shine throughout the night, For hope shall dwell within the light.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
