Where Hope lies

There is a place beyond the darkness, a place beyond my fear. A place not so far-fetched from my reality sphere. I gazed over the horizon, and there I witnessed a mere glimpse, of Hope tied to a fierce lion, but a dark figure caused an eclipse. I had to run to Hope, with both my weary legs. Before they gave in to the slippery slope, of the darkness that condemns. The lion stood there with no motion. Intent on my arrival. I crawled with pure devotion. I made it past survival.
