Hope Poem by Hanh Chau

Darkness falls across the shadow's edge
Where I stand when the midnight hour is approaching
And it is leading me to the verge of fear
Shivering in a cold winter night with echoes of cries
Pain reverberates though my heart as tears bringing to my eyes
And capture with desperation and loneliness

I am submerging in my own feeling
As fear shooting through my vein
When needle of guilt attacking to my own conscious
From the midst of my dream

Is day or night? Is good or bad?
I am a song with no melody
I am a poem with no rhyme
And words with no forms are falling from my lips

My dream is shattered as I am feeling devastated
Like a boat that lost its own directions
My heart is lost for the give of love
But only left for the bitterness and hopelessness
I am no longer wishing for the blessing of life only
for death

But hope has taken me back to earth and encourage me to wait
for the devastating moment to come to with a rewarding one

Oh! Nature is beside me and I can feel her smiling at me
Like a blue violet flower lifting her head up
and water river continue to flow like life shall be carrying on

I then discover the light of my dream reach to the blue sky
Like a blooming flower with a pink and white streak upon the horizon

Greeting me with a pure joy and pride
I then burst into tears of my victory like prize in triumph bring home
Ah! At last I get to drink the sweet wine that I've never tasted before
