A Poem for Walking
1If there were no hope who would walk for the sake of hope
If there were no hope who would ford a river for the sake of hope
If there were no hope who would barge into a burning house for the sake of hope
2
The shadow emerging from the woods
is possibly not a hope
but someone believes that it is
A shadow descending the mountain
is possibly not a hope
but someone believes that it is
A shadow carrying a bale on its head
is possibly not a hope
but someone believes that it is
The one who wanders in search of hope
sees hope in every shadow of the world
