I am the one that has to give up;

give up trying to keep the sense alive;

the sense that each of us holds in the silence

where we plan and we plot and we contrive that

for more than a moment which we cannot hold onto

I am destined to persist and to survive.

But how can I accomplish anything that way?

It is the miracle of the ages.

IT is the surprise!
