More poetry today...</p><br /><p><em>How long have I hankered<br /> For the right way to go<br />How far have I wandered<br />To know what I now know<br /><br />Laying under the moon<br />Rising up with the crow<br />And the wail of the loon<br />In the rain or the glow<br /><br />How many ups and downs<br />I had to lose the count<br />Just as with forms and nouns<br />To keep climbing the mount<br /><br />How many times I slipped<br />Escaping restriction<br />Expecting to be tripped <br />By disguised protection<br /><br />To hell and back again<br />I journeyed so often<br />The tempter of his den<br />Titled me denizen<br /><br />And all the times I yelled<br />At the gates of heaven<br />Why was freedom withheld<br />Why were no signs given <br /><br />Through trials I learned the laws<br />Governing ascension <br />And got rid of the flaws<br />Hampering progression<br /><br />Never I thought I'd shed<br />This world that never was<br />Yet where my path has led<br />Suddenly there I was<br /><br />Trembling on highwire<br />Goaded under duress<br />Across straits so dire<br />That I had to witness<br /><br />Known doors becoming walls<br />So walls could reveal doors<br />To magnificent halls<br />And infallible floors</em></p></div>
