When hope is a
Distant guest
In the bedridden
Sterile
World
Of my soul
My thoughts
Sift through
Eternity
Like the desert
Wind
That commands
Shadows to dance
Upon the sand
Life has taken
Me through labyrinths
Of cold tundras
And abandoned
Kingdoms of ice
Where frozen souls
Reside
Yet each dawn brings
a pale ray of hope
Reaching for my hand
And the orchestra
Of my soul plays
A symphony
Of humanity
Dreams are born
In a dim light
