Aspirations
December 31, 2012
When is enough?
Does accomplishment
Define success?
When you reach the stars,
Will it be enough?
When the apex is grasped,
Where is the next handhold?
Would it not be better
To let dreams remain dreams?
When we awake from a slumber
We grasp at our alien cognizance.
If captured, will it lose
That which makes it desirable?
Yet without aspirations,
What do we have?
