RELATIVITY, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Only this at last I say
Last Line: Distance is the breadth of the soul.
Subject(s): Beauty; Desire; Dreams; Life; Nightmares


Only this at last I say,
Beauty that seemed so near is far.
All men come to the end of day
And see, beyond, the evening star.

Where I stand was once my goal;
Now my goal is the dream I see
Over the rim of the world; and so
Goal and desire shall ever be.

Shall I lament it? Only the dead
Reach a goal that is a goal.
Eyes were meant as wings for the mind;
Distance is the breadth of the soul.
