     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.



    16 #+END_VERSE

    18 # aspire next.



    19 #  towards which we steadfastly tread.



    20 # steadfast aspiration.
