The Wisp
Trepidation pervades my being,
I struggle as I suppress.
My lips waver and I whimper,
like a canine in distress.
Where are my tears you ask?
I reciprocate the question to you.
Why can't I feel my emotions,
like I desire to so deeply do?
My face is as silent as night;
no expression leaks from my soul.
Where are my expressions you ask?
I am afraid to say I don't know.
The evil before me motionless,
but somewhere I hear a scream.
I strain my ear even further,
and I become aware the screaming is from me.
My enemy is inanimate,
nevertheless it provokes great terror.
I freeze as if I am a being of ice,
as the enemy begins to dare further.
A wisp of hope appears,
in a form so fragile and small.
My mind doubts if it is anything,
alas it is nowhere fragile at all.
The beacon of light becomes brighter;
a strength so intangible in every way
So very elusive it frightens me,
however I would like it to stay.
Although this hope scares me,
it will forever prevail over dark.
Remain for eternity if I believe,
all I need to do is start.

This peice was inspired by a struggle. One the almost consumed my being entirely. I knew that somehow I would be victorious in the end even though I had a mountain to climb. I was able to climb that mountain and come out even stronger in the end. All we have to do is believe we can get through and we will.
