Conversation with Hopelessness

"I am hopeless. I know. No matter how I try, All effort bares only fruitless despair." "Are you hopeless? Is that true? Look back and see   - Yesterday - Where you were. That minuscule effort, And that morsel of patience, Are still shedding the drops     That shall fill tomorrow's ocean."   Time whispers with its flow: Today, hopelessness seems real... As real as how hopelessness itself,     Carries the potential of tomorrow's hope. (Reykjavík, 11/06/'05)
