Hope is the engine of the world. Can we function without it?

Births stopped?
Lives arrested?
Hopes blown away?
Deathly shadows walk.
Love unexpressed?
Relationships broken
Before being forged?
Words stutter, pause –
Too shaken for the talk.

Cold gray silence
Eerily craving
The warmth of words, still in wombs.
The horror, the horror –
Of  spectred beings looming on the fringes
Of the mind, beyond the spectred tombs.
