The road ahead is like the road behind. The dreams achieved revise the dreams to come. Mind shapes world, and new-shaped world shapes mind, As what you are steps back from what you've done. The deeper you resides in its own space, Sheltered like a yolk from wind and tide, Filled with unimaginable grace To wander through the paradise inside. Ambitious girl! Become what dream you will, And sail across each dark, forbidding sea. Within, the fawn will graze sweet meadows still, Untouched by all the phantoms you will be. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
