Through vivid imagery and heartfelt prayers, the poet explores the strength found in vulnerability, the power of faith, and the yearning for compassion in a world that often feels indifferent.
A Ray Of Hope
A ray of hope abides within the heart,
Like toddlers grasping anchor, as juveniles how they start.
Courage is of high deed, in a horrendously beautiful way,
A ray that shapes the blessings has come this gentle day.
Their hurtful little fingers play with the births of ground,
There’s a listen at their pain and sorrow, a dreadful sad old sound.
Hear them Mercy Giver, oh Him who gives, who takes,
Pamper when they hunger, sap just on their aches.
They conquer through their slippage, firm upon a stance,
Like a lion on a throne, as lowly as the ants.
And the sun, how it basks upon their naked faces,
Teardrops on their nostrils, a sigh of joy replaces.
These streets, those corners of bitter mouths are crowded,
Passers seeking produce, of women who mask their heads.
Their spirits show their anger; their merits convey an aim,
Survival is compulsory, from the doors out which they came.
I utter in a silence, of a painful narrative,
My wishes ever hampered, with a willing heart to give.
But prayers have such meaning, so pamper on their tears oh Jah,
That aches and pains will not exist, hear me good Jehovah.
Conclusion
Ultimately, A Ray of Hope is a reminder that even in the midst of sorrow and suffering, there is always a flicker of hope that can guide us through the darkest times. It speaks to the unwavering belief that with prayer, mercy, and divine intervention, healing is possible. The poem invites us to reflect on our own struggles, find compassion for others, and trust that hope, though fragile, will always shine through when nurtured by faith and love.
