hope is not a spark, or a roaring fire

hope is a dying flame, a fading ember.

hope is not why we succeed

but the reason for it

because when we see

that last flame fly away

in a wisp of smoke

we know that it is now time to rise up

it is time to bring back that flame

stronger and more brilliant

than ever before.

we can only ever succeed

once we know there is no other option

and that is why we win
