The Hopeful Man Who Dares To Defy Despair

There is a man who aches with a zest to ride a storm, that comes with a test, duress

He prepares himself to conquer its tides never to rest, until he will shine

To tear through the fortune that awaits ahead a truth perhaps, that will unleash a present

A gift benign, forged from hardship he will break free from the shackles that bind him

His life is a fable, of pain and endurance one that speaks of adventures, only a few set on

He walks towards the light in the darkness knowing there is someone there just like him

He is thrilled to meet them once more A past self, who looks for a glimmering hope

He rushes towards the void in haste never wasting a second to spare, he aims

To break free the one’s who hope for that fate to see themselves in the arms of love, incarnate

He reaches deep within the chasm of despair showing the hope, those that want to bare

They hold his hand, and thus it hits he breaks their chain of misery, deep

Now they are not alone, it seems as they see the light of love brewing within

He pushes them close with an embrace, gentle whispering I am here, my love don’t fear

Thus, the fable comes to a close — A man who wills to change anew he frees another, who hoped to feel ease — a hope so bright, that never ceased to rest
