...and yet
that was only
the beginning
though I thought then
it was the arriving
of the long -sought
after dream

in retrospection:
I was totally inexperienced-
reading too much
into the scene
in some euphoric delirium

for that was not
the Promised Land

life the elusive
as it has always been
keeps its secrets-
its truth
we can never understand-

nothing's lost
I now calmly deem
somewhat wiser
I've become
in days that follow
I'll create a new dream
