Dare you?

Hope, wish, pray – worthless words.

Who is there to answer you?

Seek

comfort in the present days. Look

Not to the future ways.

 

Let the mind’s eye cast you

free, allow the bird’s song

give you sweet release –

there might not be any future ease.

 

Seek answers from yourself within,

but must they be in shape of words?

Stops and signs and walls and blocks

will disappear when time draws near.

Give it time

Give it peace

Soon you will realise; hoping, wishing, praying

will not do.

Action must come from within you.
