RIDER OF HOPE
There is a raining storm in a countryside at night
And a horse rider rides under the lightning’s light.
He goes to see the rising of the rainbow and the hope
But right now he has with a raining storm to cope.
Up to the mountains the star of hope will rise
To make his useless and miserable life feel nice.
The hope abandoned long time ago his soul
Which play in his life a very important role.
And for the next day he had set a specific goal
To see the hope and to give strength to his soul.
And now he rides under the raining sky
And he tries the awful weather to defy.
However is very difficult to ride under the rain
And his composure in a good way to maintain.
There is thundering and lightning all the night
And the ruthlessness of the weather to fight.
The horse and his body up to the bones are wet
And the rain unfortunately has not stopped yet.
The wind blows so fiercely that makes him feel really frozen
And wondering if he should continue the path he had chosen.
So he decided to give up and not to go to see the hope
Because he was not able anymore with the weather to cope.
The trees seeing that, started to urge him not to give up
And saying to him beautiful words his courage to raise up.
“Young man you should not be averted from yours life dream
Which is to be at the point to see the rising of the hope to gleam.
Now you have to be there tomorrow and for that, you have to fight
So tomorrow you will be able from the hope to receive the light.
We know how difficult it is under this situation
That has caused you a lot o pain and frustration.
It is not so easy to ride in the country under the rain
It is a pity everything that you struggled for, to be in vain.
In order to gain something precious in the life
There has to be a considerable amount of strife.
We know that the weather is terribly awful this night
But your happiness is at a stake and you have to fight.
So tomorrow you have to be there where the hope will appear
You see the bright light of her and your problems disappear.
But tonight you have to do the greatest fight for your life,
The storm and the awful weather with fervour to defy.
The weather now is awful but will not be for ever the same
The rain will stop and the nature tomorrow will be tame.
So please do not give up, clench your teeth and go on
Tomorrow you will be there when the hope will come on.”
Hearing this the rider is dashing ahead with his horse
Feeling inside him to be born a completely vital force.
He doesn’t feel anymore tired, disappointed or to have fear
He is completely a different man now, that is very clear.
The rain doesn’t stop, in the contrary starts to increase
And in the whole the weather is much more fierce,
But the rider gallops like a knight in a battle
Who runs with a valour to defend his castle.
The elements of nature have declared a ruthless war
but the rider is not scared of the weather anymore,
He is determined to reach in his goal the coming day
And to be averted from this target there is no way.
After a while he has crossed miles and he is near the place
Where the rainbow with the hope he will be able to face.
Now the rainstorm has stopped completely and is daybreak
And thanks to the trees he managed his goal not to forsake.
Suddenly a star is coming out gleaming and radiating
It is the hope and makes his heart really palpitating.
After a while the sun is coming out and the earth is illuminated
Also the rainbow, to signify that the rain storm has terminated.
The hope emits a warmness and a wonderful feeling
That makes his soul to feel so blissful and healing.
Everything is different in his body and mind
He knows now that the happiness he will find.
