Wisdom to wise and they’re wiser than then,
hope to the hopeful and they’re hopeful again,
the same only more and more of the same,
in a circle forever, ever after, amen.

My life in a line, an arrow, dart, up
to grow and change, be different, in love,
and move to a world on the side or above
where passion o’er flows like an overfilled cup.

But I’m trapped in a circle, doing, having to get,
hope follows and shadows, survives the pain,
but wisdom to wise; am I not wise today
to remember back when I began to forget?

“She’s a girl”, they said and I must have cried
to learn over again what I always have known
but time took my hand, showed me my soul,
and now I can die hopefully wiser than wise!
