The mind, the pen, the hope
have drawn stories and fables.
Humankind try to live
more than a life, light or sable,
search truth, get justice done,
watch beauty, hear good news.
Any resource may do:
point to it and so conceal their own,
find a hero or a heroine,
quest for mystery or the unknown.
Write a book, plant a tree,
have a child;
just our attempts to live on.
