You Are My Hope

You’re my dreams / dreamt in blessed sleeps / lit in eternal light / that tell me to hope, to hope, to hope. You’re my yesterday / I worked to transform it / into an enriched today / drawing non-stop from future’s maw. You’re my touchstone: / I want to transform the world / of filth and dirt / into a mine of gold. Most of my life / much of my effort / many of my possessions / I do dedicate to you, to you, to you. I want to belong to you / want you to belong to me / want to walk hand in hand / up the long track to truth. I see a world in you / happy and tranquil and new / sordid and seamy to few / bathed in autumn’s celestial dew.
