An Imagination Of Hope

despite these things
which i shall not tell you
about the truth
of the state of affairs
the arrangement of the chips
like dominoes
that may fall off and create the
havoc
... despite everything...
(sigh!)
i shall keep myself alive
give a smile to the day
hug my nights goodbye
take the stairs
and walk another mile
and shall come back
again
to you

...despite everything
the sadness
and despair

(sigh!)

i shall not tell you what
or where and when
and why...(sigh!)

somewhere beyond
yes there is always a time and a place
somewhere beyond

when i shall be happy
and glorious
where i shall be king
with a queen
with my prince and princes
with my soldiers
and a kingdom and a castle

(sigh!)
i always know this
somewhere sometime beyond.
