And yet has retreated;
He has retreated
And yet has arrived….
For as he stands at the threshold
Of Infinity,
His eyes behold
A glimmer of Divinity—
With every waking moment spent
Perfecting skills to empower
Progress forged without a dent
To press ahead and seize the hour;
No favour borrowed, nor sorrow lent
For every step upward the tower
Is testimony upon success bent—
So let this synthesis unfold
In fire, storm and Tranquility:
Let heartheld purpose, yet untold,
Coalesce into Singularity.
