Continuation ...
With one more
hour
another day perhaps
a time of concentration
we
could rise up
surpass, surprise ourselves
and all of
our ambitions
maybe even thrust
an unclenched
fist
through an empty cloud
or pass a golden galaxy
and with some patience
and no little practice
even
touch the lower sky.
- Rod McKuen, from We Touch
the Sky,
1978
