A Pinch of Hope !
Before sunlight can shine,
An enchanting darkness smiles !
Lilies bloom and leaves rustle,
And a never ending gloom settles.
The moon is aglow and a starry night engulfs,
Leaving behind trails of lone memories to revive.
Time flees as birds fly,
Turning dusk to dawn and kindles hope.
Retracing the path that I walked on,
I gleam and shimmer like a new born.
