Life's Sonnet #1

My foresight and reality are one,

I cannot divide them in two, you see;

They help me as I look toward the sun,

Foresight, reality and me are three.

My heart tells me no, look back to the past,

I calm my heart with tenderness and care,

And say there is a future unsurpassed,

If we but reach for it, it will be there.

This inner struggle has cost us a lot,

The pursuit of the beyond scares us both,

Still, it's not too late a dream to be sought,

A paltry weed needs the sun for its growth.

We wake up and look for the morning light,

From it we ascend to infinite heights.
