Hope

 

I tap,I knock, I bang,

The door remains unanswered.

I whisper, I talk, I scream .

My words go unheard.

 

As deaf as the sun is dark,

As blind as the stars are faded.

Am as helpless as water contained,

Am as committed as river to sea.

 

My mind is tied,

My lips are sealed .

I hope for forces of nature to be seen, 

I hope for sounds of life to be heard.
