Ashes of hope

Ashes of Hope

Once, we held hope in trembling hands,

But it slipped away, like grains of sand,

Now we stand in the ruins of dreams,

Lost in a world of silent screams.

The fire burned bright, but now it’s cold,

Ashes remain where warmth was told,

And though we search for a spark, a sign,

All we find are shadows, undefined.
