The Sailing Hope

The girl sat next to the lamp
the lamp - a mere dot
in the ocean of darkness
displayed by the night
the pride of its being
she looked into the night
blinked at it,
her eyes trying to peep
into the flickering light
she,then,bored into the darkness
her eyes rolling big
fright captivated her soul,
the starlit sky was nothing to her
the moon was in vain
Raindrops blocked her vision
The light seemed to drive her
Into the ocean of mirages.


She swam in it, round and round
Discovering those dreams
Deep the chambers of her heart
The glitter of joy, that
Seemed so unfamiliar, yet true
She saw the ray of hope,
The ray of light, the ray of joy
Not far off, but yet to be near.

She sped along the waters
Stumbled across the lad
Hallow of hope around him
Drenched in white in every form
Stood like the idol of hope
She touched to feel
Their looks straight, eyes met
Her deep blue eyes flowing
Into his ocean of love
The lamp in his hand
Lightened the darkness of the sands
Its light capturing,
The hollowness of the heart.

Drops blew off the ray
slumber dropped her back
to the wrath of darkness
she looked into the night
yes, with a bright smile
she lit up the hope
the ray finally swept her away
to the eternity of love.
