Even The Longest Day Finds An End (1984)

even the longest day finds an end
time’s cruel stride builds then rent
the fabric of hope once woven by hand
to be spun again, when?


therefore strive now for the distant
images of your aspirations to materialise
into reality



August 1984
Pulau Tekong Camp III

Some handwritten notes:
I realise how easily, how often we imagine the most wonderful goals to achieve but if these cannot be accomplished with the resources and tools at hand it as as well as building a castle in the air.
