[e_l_i_t_e]

i have reached with outstretched, disembodied hands
to grasp unreachable, imagined things
and grasped them fully until,
as a magician,
i have transformed them into something other.

i have leaped with unbounded grounding,
ceasing not until a foundling
found among the tops of clouds
brought me down from beneath my shrouds.

i have asked impossible outcomes
come true,
have trusted many and doubted few,
all of which, disappointed and redeemed by you.

i trust my strength for life will not abate,
nor my lust for death withdraw
any more than my belief in seeing past
any absolute law.

all laid out and open
in an impenetrable, solid mould...

i have dreamed far more awake
than asleep i ever could.
