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.”
