How can hope become a way of life, A principle determining
one's ends, Putting what might be before
what is, Postponing pleasure till the
sacrifice Yields the dream--naked,
yes, but real? Granted, one might choose to
live one's life Removed from the morass of
means and ends, Avid for the ecstasy of
is, Desiring neither change nor
sacrifice, Undone by the raw rapture of
the real. A moment is a point upon a
life That serves by will or
chance enduring
ends. In time one sees will be and
was in is, Opening one's heart to
sacrifice, |
