Hope - Less

 

Bleak darkness glares back at me
At night in the starry sky
A single star shinning
tides each from both sides
A forged closeness of unity

A certain kind of emptiness
left standing alone and unfilled
yielding out in the blistering cold

Like a diamond
which doesn't shine
A sea without
its cool calm breeze

A portrait of colours
of black, white & grey
A world of dark mistique
of a future unkown

It weighs down on one's shoulders
As tears poured without
a care, a gentle touch, or grace
curled up in bed
another sleepless night
the soul fights

One sided efforts of
heartfelt thots, acts & gifts
Greeted with the slient cold
quietness of appreciation

While the earth moves
still in motion
with the raging of wars
both spiritual & physical
My life standstills against
petty insignificance

As it struggles to acknowledge
my hopelessness
Cos of ignorance, insensitivity,
lack of words, reciprocration
an inability to comprehend
the truth from perception

I flee from confrontation
it being the only solution?
its painful ways only
digs my wounds deeper

I could only hum a little prayer
for some light, love,
wisdom & grace
Like no other
