The Optimist

The Optimist

I hold open the jar
and wait for the free will
of a firefly.
I step over a miracle
to move a mountain
from east to west.

I'm not expecting a thing,
but I'm hope on a rope.
I may be a fool,
I know,
and if so,
just let me hang.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
