3A/N: Hmm. I don't recall anything about writing this poem. I guess I was just wishing for something like the beacon of hope in this poem. Study hall. Go figure. (Written January 12, 2001.)
Beacon of HopeIn the darkness
I see a light
Shining forth like
A beacon of hope
My mind wonders
Should I reach out
Should I turn away
From the beacon of hope
Is the hope true
Or is it merely false
Leading me astray
A false beacon of hope
Should I stay here
Encrusted by darkness
That swallows me alive
Away from the beacon of hope
If I go towards it
Will the light be too bright
Will it sting my eyes
That beacon of hope
If I go blind
Will I still find it
Among the darkness
That beacon of hope
It will lead me away
Out of this despair
If only I reach out
To the beacon of hope
