          I see lives beyond;
          the lands I untouched
          of forced familiarity
          without fathers to clutch;
          for what they're beyond's
          no farther than yesterday
          but my hopes under troubles--
          no nearer than tommorow;
          yet far as the ravens,
          distant as riches
          of what existence demands,
          I paid only my wishes;
          before I cross this;
          this land of never dreams
          this land buried by yesterdays;
          and hungered by tommorrows;

          there past the path,
          believed be so haunted
          but what's haunted if my dreams
          never reaching what's wanted;
          never heading but beheaded
          of dream itself even,
          yet uncovered of my story
          to be told by the heavens;
          but still I see beyond
          these barricade rainshowers,
          these frozen lives living
          for losing their own powers;
          but there, I behold
          no greater losing story,
          than who's seeing all the world
          yet so blinded of his glory.
