Every Beginning

every beginning makes one confront 
the possibility that there is something good,
even minute,
in the obscure distant horizon 
and that possibility keeps many glued 
to mundane and silly hopes, 
hopes, that halfway through the horizon, 
come to a crushing halt, or 
end in some terrible form of defeat 
what are we, mere mortals, 
without the crushing hopes 
hopes that everything can crumble any minute 
it keeps us somehow alive, 
keeps our dreams in checks 
and guards our smiles from the coat of darkness 
when the crushing defeat knocks on the door, 
we take off our masks, 
and give the most diabolic smile ever 
because we knew the day would come
