Wonderful Twos - May 29, 2000

I have captured
a lifetime in two days;
I have lived
in laughter for two hours;
I have gathered my soul
for two moments.

And like two halves,
the rotation has changed
to finding
two moments of peace
in twenty years of strife;
of finding
two words of love
in twenty lives of hate,
of hoping
for two tears of happiness
in twenty ages of sorrow.

And I am disappointed
only by myself;
for seeking the impossible,
for daring to dream
amongst nightmares.
