------Touching the Candle------



 humanity follows quicksand of destiny
 as life sinks slowly
 and years overcome exuberance

 emotions slide into dark canyons of time
 while self-satifaction embraces attainment 
 among questions of fulfillment

 mountains of anxiety subside to apathetic plains
 anticipating the light 
 as darkness preludes mists of revelation 
 and souls are lifted
 to heights of sub-conscious idealism

 the doorway to tomorrow
             
R. Wayne Porter 3/1/98
