the future opens before me--

all possibilities bloom--

but like lilies planted on the mound

of all the grave dirt of former hopes--

getting real is as much an illusion

as any other earth-bound notion--

absolute reality is as right and true

as our hopes are wrong and false--

and so the ultimate test of trust--

walking the talk and silencing talk--

some of us succeed and some of us fail

but all of us move on--

each of us with the right absolution of prayer and faith

or with enough rope...

as we would have it
