DISTANCES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Just where that star above
Last Line: Beyond that star, beyond!
Subject(s): Space & Space Travel; Soul; Time; Outer Space; Fourth Dimension


JUST where that star above
Shines with a cold, dispassionate smile --
If in the flesh I'd travel there,
How many, many a mile!
If this, my soul, should be
Unprisoned from its earthly bond,
Time could not count its markless flight
Beyond that star, beyond!
