Lost in shadows, disappeared in night, A speck of hope, a distant light. At times it gleams a little near, Blinking softly, crystal clear, Before the darkness slowly grows, Swallowing the light it owes. Is it natural then to stray Into a maze that hides the way? Hiding in a corner small, A shelter built behind a wall. The heaviness begins to fall, Breathless days that swallow all. As if inside a room shut tight, Yet something stirs the will to fight. A shadow hovers, cold and grey, Like stormy clouds that block the day. A thousand paws that reach and creep, But skies like these don't always weep. The clouds must part, the light break through That clearing sky is coming too. A long road stretches, winding still, But hope anticipates with will. The darkness fades, the shadows thin The light ahead will surely win.
