each day some false hope proves more true

the mystery of a hot july afternoon
in the middle of august

I'm a little tired of worries
so much greater than cares

and gaining sudden wisdom in
sudden, painful shares

I want incremental wisdom
in measures, in grains

that come in piling up from living,
day to day gains

knowing right, feeling right
in our bones, in our eyes

perhaps, come the autumn
we'll have grown more wise
