Classification: Poetry
Theme: Hope
Synopsis: Be patient for there is always starlight after the clouds.
I was once lost in a tunnel—
Where the echoes of yesterday kept chasing me;
Like how the deep and dark ocean drowned me.
I restlessly opened my windows,
And tried to seek some stars;
But they chose to hide.
As I almost gave up searching for a way out,
I remembered how I rose when the storm knocked me down.
I was tested by the roaring sea—
Yet my soul was still invincible.
It took me years to finally realize that it was a gift;
A gift that made me perceive things even in a fallacious light;
And a gift that made me explore the shadows at night.
At last, I found the flambeau at the end of this tenebrous tunnel.
