Jonathan Dower

You stand and face the limitless truth
A turning ideal, of harmony and grace
Yet to undermine your self-esteem
I must make you see
It’s not what it seems

On the whetstone of my old blunt life
To take a leap
Into uncharted worlds,
Of hope and chance,
Of truth, no more lies,
To tell you things;
To say words that were once…
