Everyday A Possibility

Life without regret

Opens the living to better futures;

Hope is not a resting place,

but a starting point - a cactus,

not a cushion, which encourages couch potatoes to rest on laurels;

No! hope can take wings

In flights of imagination,

Acting out hunches 

Much like the poet, molding words

Into tangible responses to

Everyday possibilities
