They grope about in the darkness
Desperately seeking an answer, a solution
Until one by one they fall prey
To despondency, faithlessness and depression
The ruthless shadows strike out
And groans of despair echo all around
The inky darkness offers no respite
As life is snuffed out with the darkest night
And yet-
And yet a fire continues to burn
Flickering, yet steady …
For better times it yearns
With hope’s true light,
It drives away the night
It shines the way, leads the path
Out of the deathly confusion
Towards the resolution
Hope leads the way
Out of utter disbelief, faith sprouts
Like the first green shoots from the dry parched ground
The stream of hope nourishes all creation
Out of the primeval confusion, arises the solution
Found deep within us, yet hidden
By our own hopelessness and pessimism
By our grim and cynical take on life
That plunges us into violence and strife
Picking out the problems from the solution
Drowning in the murky sea of confusion
Rise from these chains that bind us
Follow the path with hope and trust
Which lies within us, within reach
But only-
When we Seek!
