HOPE

Into this age of darkness

into this time of fear

we hide from those who haunt us

betray anyone who gets near

from an age of beauty

from a time of peace

the memories whirl around us

but offer no release

the past, it fights the future

killing the present in their wake

we can not cry in the midst of torture

life is all one big mistake

Hope is what keeps us living

where it came from no one knows

but in the darkness it keeps shining

and we follow where it goes

Faith, it gives us Courage

to fight for what we seek

but Ignorance is a cage

and we kill the meek

Suiside and Depression

rule our minds but not our hearts

and we must learn the lesson

that we are not alone in the dark

we must find our missing pieces

that shattered near and far

some lay in the creases

of a drowned and fallen star

some are in the forest

where sunlight can not creep

but there are nymphs and fairies

to help us find what we seek

some fall in the desert

where water is rare

thats where we find the treasure

of friends who really care

some lay on the ocean floor

where air can never be

be brave and walk thru that door

because then the blind can see

some float up above you

where birds and angels fly

and when you find those pieces

youll carry a piece of the sky

the last pieces you must find

are in the soul of another

togeather, body, heart, and mind

forever, loving each other

so in your travels of pain and death

keep going, dont give up

youll find that through the night

Hope is always enough
