“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”


A desire far away from being clutched,
Like an epic journey,
So close to be held,
To have a closer look,
Yet still far away from my hands to touch,
