When is the right time to give up?
To raise your hands and walk away?
Is there a right time?
Is it ever okay to let go?
Or should you keep trying and trying
Hoping for a change
Till all hope is lost?
Which is worse:
To give up and let hope die
Or live in false hope till hope gives up?

Hearts' Desire

What do hearts desire
If not to be joined by others
In a dance so sweet and innocent
That it lights them afire

What do hearts desire
If not to be set free from care
So to rise up and up away
Till only angels can fly any higher

What do hearts desire
If not to be swept with tides
Of ideas and epiphanies
That only the living can acquire

What do crying hearts desire
If not to be free from desire
