Literature Text

Hope has returned, only to flicker out.
Gone before our eyes, almost touching it.
Our hand reaching, it destroyed to much.

The flames of hope are dark, we can't see.
No light in our eyes, guiding our path.
The journey will be in shadows again.

Whisper in your hands, before it escapes.
No words for your ears, hope is gone.
The light has slowly flickered out.

Our eyes are deaf, our ears are blind.
We can't see what's left behind.
Don't know what's in our front.

The flames of hope have flickered out.
We are left behind deaf and blind.
Yet we journey on, just to stay strong.
Honestly, who can tell where my mind got this from?

Would somebody be able too to say to which theme this belongs? I have no idea, this poem has got me flabbergasted.

Your muse seems to enjoy being mysterious and dark. An excellent work of literature, my friend.
