.Hope.//소망 (a poem)
----------------------------
out of the darkness
there is always that
small tongue feeding
on the wick
let it be
light to guide you
and let it give
strength, imagination, direction, dreams, security, tranquility,
encouragement, confidence, desperation.
out of the darkness
each of you
burn
as bright stars
objects of beauty, awe,
and marvel
being swallowed up
in the throat of a black pig
let it be
warned…
the light
is also a curse.
It will haunt you
And provide/prescribe:
Weakness, naïvety, misdirection, nightmares, vulnerability,
chaos, discouragement, timidity, desperation.
all the same
the differences, subtle
out of the darkness
and into new light
a new hope is born aborted
for sake of salvaging
reality
the passing of worlds
has cleansed
our eyes
of knowledge
