Flicker

By shadowwv

Tomorrow, does it hold anything new?
How can one look forward in the dark?
Confusion roils through life's brew.
Apathy tries its best to rule the mark.
Then in the dark a wee flicker does gleam;
And something emerges letting one cope.
Have I awoke or do I wander in a dream?
The growing flicker has a name - hope.
