Hope

Lost in the gloom of the dark jungle
as I walked alone & cold,
whispers, echoes, screeches
and laughs that became louder.

Serpents, Beasts & hungry Vultures,
sensed my presence weak & slow.
Flocked together here & there
announcing war to make me pray.

But, wait; that light,
it was still waiting,
unchanged, untouched as I left,
leaving to the dark, dark jungle.

I ignored, I shut; whispers, echoes, screeches,
I smiled, I answered; the laughs that became louder,
I turned, I fought; Serpents, Beasts, Vultures,
I ran, I went; to the light that was waiting.

The hidden

Unshared memories are the most treasured
Unknown secrets are the most beloved
Unspoken words are the most special
Unshown feelings are the most touched
