Flicker of Hope

Ah, truly so…
Determination, life’s bright fire,
Can lift us high or pull us dire.
A gamble bold, both dark and light,
Our fate doth rest within its might.
O heart that breaketh yet endureth still,
Thou climb’s the hill, though shadows grow so chill.
The path is steep, the winds unkind,
Oh yet in thy soul, an essence we find.
Yet lo, within thy tears there lies,
A power that doth the night despise.
Though Fate doth mock, and so betrays,
Thou riseth still, come break of day.
For thou art forged in trial’s flame,
Thy scars but whisper thy steadfast name.
Let grief bend but not undo,
For from the dust, thou shalt renew.
Hold fast, brave soul, the end’s not near,
Thy light shall pierce the dark severe.
And when the dawn unveils its hue,
The world shall bow to the flame of you

About the Poet 

 I am Syed Murtaza from Gems Millennium School Sharjah. Poetry, for me it’s a way to articulate emotions. Through such simple words how we can paint such a serene spiritual scenery in a blank space of our mind. Through this may we achieve a deeper connection with ourselves and the world around us.
