Hiatus

Hope waits for cheer, hope waits for joy;
Ink a fond rhyme, ink a grand line;
Ask truth to steer, ask love to toy;
Trust beyond time, trust beyond fine;
Urge hurls verse here, urge trends new ploy;
See merge of chimes, see flow of wine.


Hide your sad tears, hide your harsh pains;
Indulge your heart, indulge your soul;
Attempt good cheer, attempt new strain;
Trust feel you start, trust thought you hold;
Undo right here, undo the vain;
Sense end of art, sense end of cold.


Heal your sad pain, heal your refrain;
Invite pure grace, invite sure will;
Allow disdain, allow complaint;
Touch hurting space, touch wounded feel;
Use senses plain, use impulse slain;
Speed hiatus' pace, speed piquant deal.
