Self Assessment
My dreams: wake, sighs, climb - ladder of stars
I wake: breathe, groan, yawn - to sense of me
I groan: tired, lone, hurt - webbed in wars
A bird: cliff, flight, nest - feathered memory
Mother: sap, vein, lake - black breast of milk
White milk: nursed, hunger, fed - mouth of joy
Life's work: strength, sense, wage - ideas bilked
Strange son: write, dream, sleep - the heart that's coy.
Measure: time, life, love - endless hope
So hope: feel, know, keep - treasure of days
Memory: friends, days, dreams - longer than rope
Prayer: faith, need, yield - unblemished praise
Meaning: craved, sought, found - old analogies
Time proves: words, truth, right - in tests of strife
Believe: kin, state, creeds - the mind's anthologies
My dreams: webs, nets, kites - the sky of life.
(Kuhlmann lines)
