Analysis of Hopeful Dawns
A Banner waves as gentle winds
drive the eager traveler
far from home to unknown waters
and hopeful dawns.
In ignorance the novice is brave
in confidence the scholar is blind,
but I, I a fool, am sure of nothing.
For beauty I seek beyond horizon
where nature instructs – holding
life in the palms of Her hands,
I give myself wholly
to this unknown fate, accepting
any lesson
that by being weak
