Hope

the shorter the word
the longer i interpret
its meaning appends
makes me more bold

how i love to think
every letter's stroke
brings glory to me
in my fights every day

the vast vagueness
my doubts and fears
perish like echoes
near the narrow creeks

yes, i'm still wiggling
like tadpoles' tails
gorgeously dancing
in this playful unfair life
