An Inward Look

What lies beyond a hope... behind a dream?

Are my ambitions the cream

of the crop?



Will I make it to the top

of the heap?

Or, by mishap or perchance

wait for another?



Am I the door

through which another gains the floor

to success?



Where should I turn?

Which dreams do I burn

and bury?



Is there time to curry

a new hope?

Or should I pull in my rope

and surrender to destiny

and never even see

what lies beyond a dream?



Is my life simply another

hopeless scheme?


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Always looking within... introspective and still make attempts at self-lessness... Oh, to aspire to higher realms, to bury that ego, to reach beyond...

Oh, to be a goldfish, to dive into the bowl and see beyond the glass - 'twas always a fancy of mine. Not forever, mind you, just for that moment for new perspective. Introspection can be a bugger, but I think it's what us writers do best. =)
