MANY THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
Not everything.
Not paradise or perfection.
But many things.
Better things.
Clearer, deeper ways of seeing.
Richer, deeper ways of being.
Many things are possible.
Despair is a disease spread by the powerful,
like smallpox laced in a blanket,
to keep us weak, distracted, and in thrall.
Time is against us, always against us,
the mortal tincture working its way.
But while breath and blood still flows
behind the caging bone,
MANY THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
