Even in the darkest hour,
Will come a ray of light,
To try and quench your fears
By shining with all its might.
Though fragile is this little light,
Whose flame is small and thin,
It brings a gift of wisdom
To heal you from within.
For hope is but a lasting wish,
To escape from hells own fire,
And live once more in burning love
Is each saddened soul's desire.
Have courage, friend, the time will come,
That hope will banish pain from you
'Til then stay strong, you have the prayers
Of the world to see you through.
♥

Hope is fragile; yet it is one of the strongest qualities we can possess.

This is a really beautiful poem. I really enjoyed this. I think that you have some real talent, and this was uplifting! best of luck!

Very nice
The little ray of light in paragraph one and two is renamed - hope in paragraph three?
light = hope
burning love and hells own fire...hmmm - a correlation of hope?
I really do like the poem as a whole, but how does the title as a whole fit into the poem...
wings = ray of light, prayers?
Can the second two lines of paragraph three be separated from the first two? I feel a bit distracted by the reference of one's own hell related to burning desire for love...they're great lines - both of them and very true but put together in this write distract me a little bit from the message of hope because hope does help us escape from out if our own hell, but add that burning love is each souls desire kind of creates a little confusion for me because burning love can be such a roller coaster ride
Except for that one line, I find hope so beautifully strung throughout this poem.

In my own mind, the ray of light has wings, as, I guess, the 'ray of light' is a metaphor for an 'angel' - or one who comes to those in need to give them hope
Thanks for your detailed comment, I'm off to take a look at para three now

living on a prayer..i think we all do good luck

unity, love
in need compassion flows through so many hearts
it brings hope where hope is lost and truth to see the light, through unselfish prayer, is a gift of love,
where there is love there is God, where there is God there is indeed hope.
thank you for strong and powerful mesage of unity and hope and your prayers are so needed.
May God bess you for your kindness and sincerity...

Your comment pretty much summed it all up for me; "where there is love, there is God, where there is God there is indeed hope" - I realise that not all people are religious, and so I tried to keep religion from this - but for me, religion is a part of my life- and so, what you said, rings very true for me.
Bless you for running this contest, I hope that Oxymoron and all others who need it, can find a little comfort here

Have courage, friend, the time will come,
That hope will banish pain from you
'Til then stay strong, you have the prayers
Of the world to see you through.
ThankYou, SO SO soooo much.
I'm amazed, (for someone like me who is so ready to hate everyone in the world) how many people rally around that you don't even know!
(When sometimes the ones you thought loved you, that you love, turn away.)
Thanks again. -

you're welcome; i'm only truly sorry to say that all I have to offer you are words, and no form of physical help...
It can be strange, how when in times of need, so many strangers rally around to help out [some because it makes them feel good, some because they've been in your position before, and some simply because they can't stop themselves from assisting a person who needs it] - and as you said, it's terrifying how many of the ones you thought you could lean on actually turn away from you ; whether they're scared of what's happening, or just uninterested, or what not.
honest prayers for you, your sister, your family through this hard time. it's never easy. never.
