USELESS HOPE
The night sky, the blue satin sheen
One star greets another in recognition of a lonely friend
Perriwinkles on dew drops
Can you be mine ?
Crinkled bark on a sturdy tree
Waving grass and floating bee dancing
For you and for me
Beyond the green haze
Of leaves and sun spray
Lies the heavenly hills
Of yesterday
Endless roads
Miles destroying
Catching lost awarenes
Of measured hopes, selfish loves
And lives possessed
Greedy man takes the biscuit
Falling short of generous gifts
And care and feeling
Flaying arms, senses reeling
Great dreamers are here again
Taking the place of lust and cruelty
and the fear of loosing
All hope may be gone but life carries on
Growing older day by day
How long for, no-one can say
All we can do is to hope and to pray
