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

| 18 # aspire next. | |
| 19 # towards which we steadfastly tread. | |
| 20 # steadfast aspiration. |
