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. |
