Against Despair

If despair is one's middle name

(usually written as just D only,

so as not to give too much away)

if despair, as I say,

has been the default position for decades,

then how does one combat it?

How learn to step away

and find the inner passion ready to emerge?

 

Can we learn new tricks?

I dispute every suggestion

for overcoming despair

and yet am seduced,

at least a little,

by the idea that change is only

an action away.

Action animates creativity

(our birthright)

which can

(may)

defeat despair.
