we're aiming our direction

forward into eternity


and the obstacles of the Evil One

are no worse


than what I've had to contend with...

let the received wisdom


of the lost and frightened

drag them from harrowing to harrowing


we stand aside

our own trials


are enough

with which to deal


as we head into that lengthening way

leading to what promised fulfillment...
