Too High To Reach Or Nothing

the heights - too high - can't reach 
the head, the hands over the emptiness 
it stands like the earth pole line - unshaped 
dead all beneath the roots of it 
running - driving - tuning with the stormy winds 
and then losing - and then disappearing 
the heights - too high; none can reach 
but the mind - the imaginative mind -
the confident faith - all in one day will be
Faded glory
