Hope, like the gleaming taper

Summary

Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, illuminates the path through darkness and uncertainty. Just as a small flame provides a glimmer of light in a pitch-black room, hope offers a flicker of optimism and possibility in difficult times. It serves as a beacon that guides us forward, providing reassurance and encouragement, even in the face of adversity. Like a light in the distance, hope fuels our determination and inspires us to persevere, reminding us that even the darkest night will eventually be overcome by the dawn.

He was in my mind, he was in my heart, and he was in my memory. He smelled good. He tasted good. And the blissful aftershock still throbbing in my most sensitive places felt wonderful, when everything else in my life was an obstacle to be overcome.
