A Hand Of Hope

The world had ripped me apart from humanity,
There I was staring at a misty unknown destiny,
Eyes dim and wet from despair and sorrow,
I had become a deserted specie hoping for love and peace to borrow,
My own world had rejected my existence,
Though I tried to stand up and face the blowing wind of defeat with resistance,
Reality had come to dawn that I was truly lost in the desert of human renunciation.

My own thoughts told me I would never find love again,
I never argued with them for I knew that love I would never regain,
The only last hope left for me was death,
But my life was too stubborn and refused to take its last breath,
Leaving me hopeless and weak inside,

The thought of finding love made my body shiver increasing my depression,
Who but a fool could claim this worthless possession,
Mistrust and hatred had breed within my heart,
Only a miracle would from my heart rip them apart,

Whilst thinking about the misery that had befallen me,
I felt a soft grip coming from my hand its touch so lame,
At first I thought that finally I was meeting my death,
Then I thought maybe I had accidently touched a heath,
But the grip grew more frim but with a calm tone,
As I turned around my eyes met with the lone,

His eyes were still and tense,
It seems there was something we could both sense,
There was something about his eyes,
Immediately I wanted to say yes,
Even though we hadn’t spoken yet,
It seemed as if we had known each other or had somewhere met,


Holding both my hands he whispered softly in my ear,
He seemed to tell me I had nothing to fear,
All worry and distress quickly vanished,
And the hate and mistrust immediately perished,
His hand gave me a new hope in my heart,
I looked in his eyes wondering what kind of human could perform so quick an art,

With his hands in mine I felt hope rise up within me,
Bidding me to leave this deserted land and come,
Had I truly found what I was looking for or it was a mirage,
Caused by the anger and rage,
No this was real I could feel it,
Hope had finally lit,

Never would I let go of his hand for as long as I live
For its touch gave me hope and made me believe,
I could still face the world again
