POETRY CORNER

Who has known heights shall bear forevermore
An incommunicable thing
That hurts his heart as If a wing
Beat at the portal, challenging.

His thoughts draw upward who has known the heights
Above the pettiness of mundane things
An undeniable something stirs his soul
And he is nevermore the same.

He yearns for untrod ways
For nights of solitude beneath the stars
Companions round a campfire sprawled
And yet, lured by the gleam his vision bore
Who once has trod the stars, seeks peace no more.
