rlm@109 2 Heaven is the darkness of a moon in a mirror
rlm@109 3 In whose dark glass, long-lost love refracts into a promise
rlm@109 4 And our incipient sorrows witness their imminent conclusion
rlm@109 5 In mere gray inches of earth.
rlm@109 6
rlm@109 7 But before this framed firmament, we can merely stand and sigh
rlm@109 8 And see our lives begun knotted with their own undoing
rlm@109 9 Before this stygian wall, this shroud of narcissus.
rlm@109 10
rlm@109 11 Yet its stillness is not our stillness,
rlm@109 12 And beyond the burnished gleaming edges of its flat sky
rlm@109 13 A new sun rises
rlm@109 14 Gilding the vast shoreline of our memory
rlm@109 15 And the dawn-fogged peaks of our unflagging aspiration.

rlm@109 19 # towards which we steadfastly tread.
rlm@109 20 # steadfast aspiration.
