hope secure
Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves
the impossible. —Helen Keller
tho but a worm am i
in deep soil,
i shall be measured by
my strides
to find the light of skies
—dark death foil;
therein my secret guise
abides!
tho i am but a seed
asleep here,
my roots shall learn to heed,
one day,
the calling of the birds;
clean and clear
the whisper of kind words
at play.
tho broken is my will
at evening,
i hope, beyond the kill,
to soar,
when morning comes again
with daring,
and rids me of my pain
once more.
tho sleep i in this grave,
death's silence
is not all that i have:
earth's floor
shall yield my body free
from violence,
immortal life to me
secure.
