Tunnels and Lights. A poem.

Some short and some long,
A storied trail between stops.
The intransigent path
Remains dim as you plod.
Repudiated by walls 
That batter your pride
As you wallow in thought 
Through your long, lonely night.

Of hope and return,
Towards a beacon, twilight;
A promise eternal 
At the end of the line.
The end to the tunnel
And the path that you’re on.
An end to your weary,
Inconsolable song.
