The Greater Hope
Hans S Lillegard
The Greater Hope
As though a clean wind on a mountain top could mean enough, it without effort
Would free a single addict eaten by the beast, and
Might unfetter through lucky chance the bearer of a criminal psyche,
Rebuild the psychology of an unlucky slave to the flesh,
New heaven and new earth insufficient being written, it
Could take the prisoner beyond the cell, like an easy choice
Would overcome the medication of a psychiatric patient, it
Might silence with its unheard voice the loudest shells for chosen soldier,
Chance to stand nonviolent in torture’s sharper claws.
Outside the box of thought or inspiration, it
Could sneak inside undo a bureaucratic institution, at whim
Would unexplain the motives of a nation or a world, it
Might reteach rules of planets or the stars, could
Clear the simple hurdles theories of the universe.
Beyond the more extraordinary pale of lightened vision, it
Could outdo brilliance spawned of intellect’s mechanics, at will
Would like a second to a heart’s tears’ vision,
Grow a greater peaceful clarity, and so
Might fertilize an even greater love, and
Choose its unseen self to beat down leaden spirits, so
Lies the greater hope.
