All Manner of Hope<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to misinterpret shadows–<\/p>\n
and to not know whether or not the moon<\/p>\n
is the moon or a scythe.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Up to, and beyond the point of imagining<\/p>\n
anything, it\u2019s good to remember it\u2019s all<\/p>\n
up in the air.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And yet, bees, those librarians of the day,<\/p>\n
still hum about their work, and drapery<\/p>\n
still follows the form of the body.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Strings yield to tuning, and leaves fall<\/p>\n
on the backs of elephants, and ants<\/p>\n
caress each other with their antennae.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The day, with all of its movable parts<\/p>\n
(and, for whatever reason, takes excursions<\/p>\n
into the realms of faraway, while at the same time<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
concentrating on other things), is always<\/p>\n
at hand, but loosely so, and without shame,<\/p>\n
for there is no sin in wanting tomorrow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
No matter how we see the moon,<\/p>\n
the shadows\u2014darkness can be luminous<\/p>\n
and within its folds all manner of hope.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Take comfort in not knowing. Mysteries<\/p>\n
are the way into the wonderful, and understanding<\/p>\n
even a moment, isn\u2019t the end of the road.<\/p>\n
