I am in the present perfect <br />Where I have always been, <br />Finally reaching <br />Something of my own <br />Which makes tomorrow <br />A day worth following... <br /> <br />As I rise with the orange glow <br />Of an enterprising ideal <br />That is too ardent <br />And possessive to let go... <br /> <br />I may be unknown and alone, <br />But the real one is ready <br />Apart from here <br />And has become part of the world <br />I am striving for... <br /> <br />Separating the many <br />Halves of me <br />And sorting them <br />Into the infinite good or bad <br />I am most likely to succeed... <br /> <br />The Cause is the ideal, <br />The ideal is the principle <br />And the tempter's key <br />Which unlocks or fastens <br />The door of immortality... <br /> <br /> <br />©All Rights Reserved-2011<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bare-truth/
