Many pathways I havedreamed
Of traveling in my brieftime,
Far too many distantplaces,
So much on a bucket list.
The distance between hereand Heaven
Not so great as one mightthink.
Perhaps just a dreamaway,
A silent stroll into themist.
Longings are buttoothless phantoms,
Fearsome shadows void offlesh,
Victims of reality
That comes to chase thedream away.
Persistence and tenacity,
Like Superman and CaptainMarvel
Arriving in the nick oftime.
… I’ll get there someday.
