hope

hold on and the pain will end

Gliding alongside the shadows

Leering the kindly tempest of the heart

Blinded by the sullen feelings

Coaxing the sparkling lantern

To shed its luminous rays upon me 

Lay me a road of roses through dusky forest 

Pull me hard pull me softly

Don't rescue me so hastily

Through the grimy well toss me a rope 

Rope which i shall hang on so tight 

A rope of hope

There's always hope, no matter what. Vicktor Frankl said so and the man did three years in a Nazi concentration camp.

It seems we are always grasping for something and if we are lucky, we find it and hold on tight. Very nicely done.

The theme is touching and deserving. The work is well formed with nice adjective choices. I question if you meant "which" instead of "witch" and would be curious to know if I'm right. Nonetheless, it is a delightful read thoroughly enjoyed.

I like the simile of light and hope(?). I think that you are correct, hold on to what ever hope you have and try to get through hardships. (Assuming I am inferring correct)
