RECONNAISSANCE by EDNA BECKER

First Line: THERE LIES THE FAR HORIZON
Last Line: TO EVERYDAY?
Subject(s): DREAMS; NIGHTMARES;
There lies the far horizon
And here am I;
Between me and its blueness
What furlongs lie.

And, like the blue horizon,
My dreams lie far --
Obscured by the commonplace,
How dimmed they are.

But who would want the sky-line
A breath away,
Or have one's dreams belong
To everyday?
