In time you will see
that you wanted
everything too much.

You have asked too much
of this world.
But soon you will learn

that things appear most beautiful
when viewed from a distance,
and you will find no comfort

in illusions of closeness.
You will find that the reflection
in the window

clouds the promise
you expected to find
in some vaster field of sky.
