Deep, deep inside,
under the mask 
of daily expression,
hidden down even further
than unresolved issues,
and even further
than my quest
for great
spirituality,
lies
a 
hope,
a single
solitary 
hope,
one born in days
of innocence,
one that knowledge
wouldn't kill,
there lies
my secret wish,
pushed down further
each day that I live,
yet still will not
disappear,
and when it comes
to light,
I feed it darkness,
for I know,
beyond a shadow of 
doubt,
it can never be,
and at long last
I think I can
live with that.
