Idealist
I had this dream, you see
about a better world
with enlarging frames I watched
as closer we approached
but as the years go slowly by
I find in each a little more disillusionment
things are not so different here
the more we build
the more familiar our structures reverberate
reminding me from whence we came
I have found a richer lode than dreams
in mining the mineral wealth
of my far-faring mates
& even these leave transcendental traces
on my mind
