One More Chance

A hellish 
nightmare
or heaven’s 
dream
A Poets
choice
the virgin’s
scream

Prison
waits
all hope
recalled
With heart
despondent
if I dream 
small

Freedom’s
 sleep
my one
repast
All shadows
banished
new questions
asked

Where fortune
trades
the moment
clean
For one 
more chance
at sight 
unseen

— To live renewed in heaven’s dream —
