A Sliver of Hope

I

A sound rises from the dark,

A small, quiet sound

With a purpose so loud

It could break the dark that holds it.

Within this sound

It whispers all around

A story so grand

It could shock the one who told it.

But no one knows

Who made this sound

With their heart outbound

There is no soul who could break it

Who sparks all the souls

Sets all their dreams abound

Who's message is sure to astound

All of the people who heard it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A cold wind washes over us,

It chills us all down to the bone.

No source of warmth is in sight,

There's no possible way

To make it through the night,

Unless a miracle swept the land,

And brought the sun out

Into the night sky, we can't survive.

We'll never see tomorrow's light.

Just as we lost all hope,

Out of the water came a light,

And we looked up,

The moon was very bright

The darkness is conquered,

And we once again have hope,

And enough warmth to see

Tomorrow's light.

Stop, wait a second,

I'm getting that thought,

And I swear that this time,

It won't be forgot.

I'll write it down,

I'll tell all my friends,

Stop, wait a second,

I forgot it again.
