Poem – Hope (By Naushena)

Hope

I bring sunshine in your day,
A spark in your eyes,
Spread smile in your sinking heart,
I fill warmth in your body
I am hope, a ray –
The silver lining behind the dark clouds
The embers in the dying fire,
I come secretly, tip toe silently
You see me not but feel
Like a blowing wind,
For I am invisible
I stay, till you let despair in
For he’s my arch rival,
Once he barges in,
I leave for my survival
Because one sheath can’t hold two swords;
One is the killer and other, the savior.
