Grateful and True
i shall wade and sink into the sunrise lake
of my own sunset, and in the penumbra
of such ambiguous horizon, I shall be
blissfully nothing
again;
for though I've drifted with the worst wayward winds
and got stranded in the dreariest doldrums,
i have kept undaunted and unshaken the faith
in better things
to come;
and though the heaving halo of the sunken sun
now sends thin shafts of shimmering light
streaking through my lengthening shadow,
I shall remain grateful
and true.
