Within

Within

Though seeming dull,

envelpoed by life’s

shadow and veil,

the heart grows cold

and weary.

Each beat a trial,

a question to the unknown-

“How long must I go on?”

Deceptive, this despairing cloak,

for hidden deep within

 glows the faintest flicker

of hope that

refuses to die,

the very essence of

what defines the soul-

the brilliance of

Eternity!
