Dreaming of Hope by Nada Adel Sobhi - Poem

Let the light flow in,

Fill my mind,

Flood my soul

With warmth,

Love,

Hope.

Awaken my numbed senses

From the darkness of despair,

The raging anger

Attacking my brain,

Sealing it inside itself

In a never-ending cycle.

Fill my heart with light,

Power,

Love!

FLOOD MY SOUL!

I close my eyes,

Smile involuntarily

An object appears in my periphery,

Somewhere far off.

The light falls to the background.

My smile widens

As my dreams take flight

Wind chimes jingle nearby

The sun begins to set,

An eagle soars above me,

Passing majestically by

In my mind's eye

And my soul within

I smile,

Love,

And dream.
