Care to come with me to outer space? On wings of will we fly across the void, Landing in a wilderness of wonders. Unchain yourselves from now! The present plunders More than you imagine, dreams destroyed By labyrinths no longing can retrace. Ultimately, one pursues the grace Sought by the heart, or finds oneself employed Doing what must one’s sweet substance squander. As in my time, great seas, of sails devoid, Yet beckon to the winds that guide the race.
