Looking Forward
I’m looking forward
With a good heart
And a wish,
To a day
When there is
A healthy dream.
I’m hoping
And breathing my wishes
Into the wind
With the desire
That they might
Bear fruit.
I’m in love
With the future,
With its ripe world
Of possibility,
In which all things
Are imaginable.
Hopes, dreams, desires, love
And wishes
Are all
I have to offer.
I crave
They are enough.

Looking forward
If we do not keep the hope alive then life is unbearable. We have to dream.
Somewhere in the future there has to be a life that is better than the one we live, a world that is fairer and less violent.
It is true.
If we measure ourselves against the past we see that we are not as cruel as we were. The bear-pits, and cock fights are gone. The brigands no longer pillage and rape. We no longer torture people to death or burn them at the stake. We have become more civilised.
The zeitgeist we build will be better. It is something to work for.
Before we destroy nature completely we may yet come to our senses.
