Care to
come with me to outer space?
On wings of will we fly across the
void,
Landing in a wilderness of wonders.
Unchain yourselves from now! The present
plunders
More than you imagine, dreams
destroyed
By labyrinths no longing can retrace.
Ultimately, one pursues the grace
Sought by the heart, or finds oneself
employed
Doing what must one's sweet substance
squander.
As in my time, great seas, of sails
devoid,
Yet beckon to the winds that guide the
race.
