Lonely I walk across the barren lands
Filled with tears of the clouds
Muddies down to the very heart of Mother Heart
It seems as if all has been lost
And there is nothing left to fight for
The light dazzles your eyes to create an
Illusion of darkness around you
The very sources of happiness have become
Harbingers of sorrow
And who is to fight them and with what?
But I know that stopping to take in
This desolate view would do me no good
My sympathizing for this unfortunate turn of events
Would be wasted entirely
Nobody knows it better than me
The ghosts of the past are best left in their graves
Amidst all this I see a tiny leaf
Spring out of the hardest of the rocks
A streak of darkness covers
The blinding night helping me to see
Autumn finally comes into full bloom
To replace spring
Which seems to have forgotten its duties…
And suddenly I am surrounded by leaves
All over the ground
The leaves maybe
The trees maybe barren
And the people would think of death all around
But for a lonely traveler
It speaks of new beginnings
For now there will be
New leaves
The world
Will start again afresh
Looking at all this
I am filled with hope
And buoyed with this feeling I start my journey again
Clinging to the trappings of new life
I know I walk alone in this journey
And I know I shall be alone forever
But one day when I look back
I will know that
HOPE never left me
And that is the feeling
I will always cherish in my dear little heart
