From D Depths Of My Soul

Through d dark woods of life,I stumbled along,
Unaware of what fate held in store;
Unaware of d lurking dangers was I,yet
Fear of d unknown gripped my soul;
My mind,traitor dat it was,kept screaming 2 me:
"U r bt a slave in d hands of destiny!
Destined 2 b lost 4evr in d midst
Of dis un4giving gloom!"
And yet,hope still glowed inside my soul,
Giving me warmth in d cold numbness of doom,
4 I had 4 company,my 1 true friend:
My heart,which whispered back 2 me
Wid every beat-dat life had in store
4 me,surprises beyond my wildest dreamz!
Like a drowning man,clutching at straw,
I checked 4 dem at every bend,
And yet,in spite of such meticulous care,I
Could find no blossom,in d withered garden of existence!
I cursed my heart,more bitter foe it seemed
Than my mind-4 it taught me 2 hope,
As d pain of shattered hope is beyond
What a frail human soul can endure!
Bt then:
In d midst of winter,in d depths of snow,
D fragrance of blossom warmed my heart,
Truly amazed,was I ,at dis sudden change
4 d woods no longer seemed unfriendly 2 me.
Basked in d warmth of moonbeams,dey seemed
So full of life,just like d soft touch of grass kissin my feet!
I knew not,wat ws dis sudden change-
It ws of a sort never xperiencd b4!
And yet ,why did it seem so familiar 2 me-
As if I had waited 4 centuries
4 d arrival of dis untimely spring
In my step,in my soul?
The fire still burned,bright as ever,
Even engulfing my rational mind
In its all-pervading warmth.
And like 2 Ancient Man,in d early days,
Once again,d Fire had taught a lesson-
Dat 2 lose hope was d biggest crime,4
At d end of every scary tunnel,
Awaitin our arrival,there's always light.
