Hope

It creeps in, it creeps within.
Bringing nothing but gloom, loneliness and desolation


The unwelcome unwanted memories from the past,
often creeps in, they creep within


They embrace the soul, they freshen the wounds,
for the sinister retention of the bygones,
creeps in, it creeps within


The claws dig deep and gnaws the soul.
The melancholy,
creeps in, it creeps within


Still the hope illumines the darkness
that creeps in and creeps within.


That single ray of 'hope', the soul holds on to which
brings the peace, brings the laughter... brings the joy..
even when the grief creeps in, creeps within.

Heeri.
