From Indifference to Longing

What does life hold?
Some this and some but,
some perhaps, some possibly,
some moving forward,
some turning back,
some progress,
some limitations.

Beyond all this are some rules, some lawlessness too.
To live, you need both.
So if ever you find
you're losing or have lost what you once had,
your steps slow or tangled,
nothing but darkness before your eyes...
don't despair.

He who lives today scorned by all,
who can say... perhaps
tomorrow he'll dwell in everyone's longing!
