al otro lado

The tumultous river flows unabated;
My rudderless boat seeks a guide
Rowing on, through sands of time
I see a light on the other side.

I am lost, I have lost all but hope
A myriad tears water the tide,
An empty glass on the mantlepiece?
I see a light on the other side.

Through the deafening keening
I hear a voice - "sigh, confide"!
My hope rekindles, I row on
I see a light on the other side.

Sombre lines harden the face;
The calling - we must abide,
I smile a smile for now I know
It is my light on the other side.

HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all.
- Emily Dickinson
