1 #+BEGIN_VERSE
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.
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.
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.
