Do not join the hordes

of those Dead

long before

they actually Die.

Even when Life

boxes you in stationary

keep moving forward

with your Mind.

And when Hope

seems Pointless

or Evasive…

that’s when, in fact,

you need it Most.

Although Today

is dark and sinking…

drowning-man Cling

onto the Magic

possible in Tomorrow.
