O’ would it be that I with angels vie, To gaze beyond a midnight Kansas sky, Lo’ not to dream, but view with wakened eye- Forevermore, with mortal lens espy. I wish it so, that I would pierce the night, Upon the summer blaze of Persiedes, To touch upon far side of welkin’s light, Where gods alone o’er unseen realm preside. Polaris and the Southern Cross to merge As vastness of the Milky Way would shrink Until the firmament and earth converge And I a mortal man would cross sky’s brink. O’ would it be, that I a man might see, Beyond what is, to see eternity. |

Tim "O’ would it be, that I a man might see, Beyond what is, to see eternity." I think you already do. |

And I? in order that darkness would reign where stars and thoughts would reach the realm I would stay myself, and from rising abstain while the master stands the helm. Bravo! |

Oh I love this, so much...I only wish I could write them. Beautiful! and this... O’ would it be, that I a man might see, Beyond what is, to see eternity like Martie said... "I think you already do" Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Tim, you shine like the very stars themselves Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
