Hope

It is the oxygen
Of the soul.

Without it
We die of
Spiritual asphyxia

It is the candle
That lights the

Dark tunnel of
Our existence

And provides
Food to our
Starving psyche

When hope dies,
Nothing can

Survive.

Like a plant
Without sunlight,

Our spirit will
Wither and die.

Without hope,
Our bodies

Become empty
Shells -- devoid
Of life

And waiting to
Die

Where has my hope gone?

When will it
Return?

When will I live again?
