"a reason for hope"
something divine,
something completely right-
that is what i've wanted
for my whole life.
to be carried away,
like jupiter's love,
that's what i've wanted
for the whole universe.
but when it comes,
will i go the way of erigone,
who hung herself on a tree,
after icarius lost his life to freedom?
when the young saplings arrive,
will i go the way of juliet,
who after chewing on a golden gift,
saw it flee away to poison drips?
no- i will take the whole world in,
embrace the casual arriving of spiritual goodness,
observe the abandonment of ill,
and spend life on the hill.
