Until Then

Questions fall like endless sand

through a bottomless hourglass,

for time can never limit nor

diminish this curiosity,

always at the ready.

Dogged determination has these legs

forge over dunes without end,

for knowledge is not a mirage

and this thirst is unquenchable.

It is always leading toward

an oasis of truth.

Along the way faith is drawn

from the flowers of cacti

for needles may prick

but will never puncture the spirit

not willing to be dominated

by negativity's quicksand.

These bare feet scorched by

the sweltering heat of the superficial,

now callused by the protection

of undying hope, march toward

the very foundation of the

pyramid of enlightenment

where thousands of silicon mirrors

reflect the essence of unlimited courage

and so this journey will continue,

until then.
