Poem: The Lamp of Hope

[Yusuf71]

 

The lamp that lights all darkness,

 is drawn from sorrows vein

Angels tend its lonely wick

 to see its glow remain

 

Its rays spark soft and gentle,

 its red bears many scars

hang in the sky like ruby stones

 amidst the twinkling stars

 

The Angel's blessed scourges

are brought to feed the flame

tortures, sorrows, death and woes

 wash us in holy rain

 

The lamp can e'er be followed

 bright and most profound

always lighting higher paths

 which lead to holy ground

[Silas]

An elegant and moving poem: nicely done Yusuf
