Maybe Tomorrow

What is there in life?
Some ifs and some buts,
some maybes, some perhaps,
some moving forward,
some turning back,
some progress,
some constraint.

Beyond all this too, there are rules, and also the absence of rules.
To live, you need them both.
So if ever you find yourself
losing or having lost what you once held,
your feet growing heavy or tangled,
nothing but darkness before your eyes...
still, do not despair.

The one who lives today in everyone's shadow—
who can say... perhaps
tomorrow he will dwell in everyone's longing!
