hopekeepers

when there’s a hopekeeper there’s hope
not necessarily too large
i think you’ve noticed that to cope
means very often undercharge – 
that’s when the ones we briefly meet
come with their very tiny plants
that grew from miniature seeds
extracted out of our “i can’t”

so then they water them with hope,
and very often only one,
that is too small for microscopes, 
but good enough to weigh a ton
the scale is measured in our will, 
and on the range from one to shit
we’ll nail it if we got the skill
of giving hope a double knit

one day the hopekeepers will meet
in order to discuss their seeds
some very fragile and dicreet, 
the others – steady to exceed
shamans by nature, they will raise
their glasses full of human aims
that’s not too pricey nowadays – 
the hopes are mostly all the same

so there’s an orchestra of life, 
and they sit in to make a sound
and you can join with paperknife
or any instrument around
just listening would also do, 
as long as you recall the score
of being confident and true
and little better than before
