There's a Light at the end of the tunnel

I have found this year's passage very

much like walking back than walking ahead.

Naïve heart, at first thought temporary

this feeling would be, but now, it has bled

out into the shades of this self-centered world.

And along feelings of pessimism have come, being fed   

into this already hopeless heart, then being hurled

to my mind, my whole. Now such life I had seems dead.

Howbeit, even if happiness is lost

and my heart falls into an endless  hole,

I know there's a sun, shining without cost,

that brightens up my life, saving my soul.

So even if my hope desires  to leave

the future is  open wide, I believe.
