Doldrums is the atmosphere
Heavy is the heart
Mind is encumbered
Sight is bleak
Is this life?
Or a dead end
I often ask myself
When I’m smitten
But one day I
asked it in a different way
Why the others are so happy
So courageous
So gaudy?
And as I lingered more
I found an answer
That’s only because
I feel defeated
And doesn’t hope for more
While they are always hopeful
And try again and again
That was the moment
when I concluded it all
To keep a lamp burning
We have to keep putting oil in it !!!

The image is so perfect...is it for real? Ya, we need hope to keep going and not give up....generally we set little goals, long-term goals, yet since this life is vain and full of vanities, our hopes are likewise rather vain, even if we receive what we are hoping for....only if by the grace and mercy of the Lord God, He gives us Himself, the Lord Jesus Christ as our Hope, will we never be disappointed...for He is faithful and all His promises are sure. Excellent point you made in your "author's comment"..... and excellent concluding lines...we do need to keep fueling the lamp to keep it burning! It is very nicely written, well-done, and I enjoyed it!
Really you are an expert composer, and I appreciate your work.
