i Dare say

i Dare say

by Sean K

The expectations of tomorrow make us ignorant.

Avoid assuming the most dire, like death.

Avoid suffering with every decision.

Or dare I say! Hope for a better.

...In this way I am like you...

Expecting or wistfulness are assuming.

We cannot expect. So I assume the dire.

Or dare I say! I understand you, as we both avoid pain.

...In this way you are like me...

You are worse.

I am better.

You are wrong.

Or dare I say! I am right.

...In this way, you and I are separate...

What is worse without the better?

What is winning without loss?

What is expecting without the most dire?

Or dare I say! What is white without black?

...In this way we are one...

But, what is my loss without gain?

What is my gain without someone’s loss?

... If in this way... I am like you. You are like me. You and I are separate. We are one.

Then, dare I say, I will rejoice in my loss, and be mournful of my gain!

As I understand now, that you and I are the same.

We define each other, and I hope you will win the power of poetry.

“I will assume to shoot for the moon, and if I fall, I still will be in the stars.”
