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.
