To Faith That Ushers Hope
The light of day ne’er penetrates the gloom,
nor warms the frigid spaces ‘midst my soul,
for crumbs of bliss nor joy can find no room,
to oust the woe that halts ambition’s goal.
Dejection’s slain desire, crushed the dream,
reduced small shreds of victory to dust,
then snatched the shattered bits of self-esteem,
defeating ego, poise, resolve and trust.
If e’er those rays of faith that usher hope,
illumine the darkened portals to my heart,
then surely I might find the will to cope,
ignoring acts disheartened thoughts impart.
I pray to God this noose that chokes my zeal,
will break, to end this wretched soul’s ordeal.
