I can only hope
For tomorrow I be
The best of me-will
Learn how to cope
I can only hope
For tomorrow I be
The best of me-will
Learn how to cope
To learn matters plentiful
Unlearn matters that matter-no more
Hopes of yesterdreams achieved
Thinking about darkest dark
In the brightest bright
And tomorrow comes again
And with it comes new dreams
The heat prevails and I
Drown in its heart’s dreams.
I attempt to swim
Gathered all in me
One jump at a time
Two steps behind
And then I realize
To know my way
Is to not know-and
To hear it say
To know is a sin
Way in and way out
A place before — or
A place beyond.
It’s the same site
The locus of life
All is seen but never known
Is the only way out
The dreams of tomorrow-keep
Me awake no more
For I gather my might-to
Drift into the unknown.
