ON THE WAY TO THE POSSIBLE, IMPOSSIBLY

on the way to the possible,

impossibly I found

everything I wished for planted underground

planted without light or shade

in the darkest earth

waiting for the warmth to come

and uncertain birth

oh dear Father of my hopes

you who guard the sun

grant that I your child may be

not so quite undone

as to give up dreaming

even at the end, that

all the hopes I planted,

all, will live again.
