Missed Opportunity Poem by Damian Spriggs

A shimmer of hope
Amid the dark night
Passed by once more
And fades out of sight

Once more I fall victim
To this desolate trend
But without a beginning
Can their still be an end

And what if that shimmer
Was again, never seem
And only came out
At night in my dreams

Then dreams would be life
And life would be dreams
I'd breathe just to chace it
And oh how it gleams

I reach out to grab it
But never hold on
Their is no point in trying
When all hope is gone

A shimmer of hope
For now fades away
Until I build the pride
To try another day
