Hope Is Alive

One never sleeps over the whiteness

Mute feelings seem to quiver…strange moments

Unfamiliar warmth fills the room, a new energy

Daring to wander and imagine an alternate world

A future may have been lying idle for so long

Neither the dreams nor the silent contemplations yielded

Here I was looking at the expected paleness

Yet, dreaming of a brilliant path through the old passage

Supreme emotions of the soul gathers momentum

For I have the opportunity to narrate them through words

Dared to comfort myself and energized my frail spirit
