Glimmer of Hope

When paradise has a forlorn look

Grace from life has walked away

The heart is deluged by discomforting silence

Soul has found a dark retreat to hide

Even the Sun cannot cajole the sombre mood

Life’s arid land yields no happiness

Flowers do not bloom anymore

Waiting from the clouds to bring shower

This parched land needs to be revived

When hope is confined in the darkest corner

One drop of rain can awaken the seed

Hope can revive and take root again

Grace will bloom again on this paradise

Life will emerge from the cracks

To transform the land with abundant happiness

Myriad colors and fragrance will rejoice

A prayer for life has brought paradise back©
