The Light

Slowly I am walking towards the light,
Hoping in vain it would shine
Those colours are fading in the night
Yet I hope one of them is mine,
The light shining in its bright
Coloured glow that adorned this night.
And my dreams are running round
In circles, circling the light
From far I can hear its sound,
Coming to my ears, bordering those years
I have left behind, this tentative mind
Is telling me it should fade away,
The light can't light my face,
In this wilderness, all my days
A vacant hope still lit by its flame
That it would stay…
This night, this light.

Perfectly written with an aggregated and brief flow of emotions and terms, well written.
