Difficult it is;
Not the question itself,
But the answer it seeks.
I have a dream,
Promising it is;
Not the dream itself,
But the hope it gives.
I have a fear,
Dreadful it is;
Not the fear itself,
But the strength that it needs.
I have an understanding,
A covenant it is;
Neither with God nor any mortal,
But with my soul that seeks peace.
