Beyond it

Who is trust –
An open bust
With crevices upon it

Who is respect –
Uncluttered thought
Understanding bursting from it

Who is hope –
Last vestige of
Failure hides behind it

Who is belief –
Final frontier
Life with meaning in it

And when time comes
And meets her
The open sea – they’ll ride it

And go beyond –
Traverse, abscond
To find a better place
Beyond it.
