5. My Everlasting Hope

I lie beneath the darkness
Hoping for the brightness.
I wandered through the woods
Hoping for the path to drop its hood.
I looked through the mist of difficulty
Hoping to find my treasure of opportunity.
I hoped for fantasy
Not for reality.
I hoped for truth
Not for ruse.
I hoped for loyalty
Not for disloyalty.
My hope was like a never ending rope.
But how much could it cope?
