by Sasami

The silence beckons me toward
A chimerical gateway in
The back of my mind, a private
Pandora's Box all my own, a
Container that seals hopelessness
And sorrow away, yet hope is trapped
As well, but the lock has rusted,
And I care not, for hope can leave
But so can the evils that could
Destroy my soul, and from them I
Suffer all too much, but patience
Guides me through all and the evils
Subside after time and hope returns
To give me faith in futures bright.
