Forward moving in paces mothers laid Are steps taken now on paths trod times before. A road winds thin here as new beginning Though ever yet as constant trampling floor.
At once new, at once old, time flies Once set free, once browsing on strange human ties Old times bred new by fresh human forms Still move me to recurring life paths of stray norms.
Being here, divine flesh onward on preying hands For true meed meal had wandered free alive, Shapes of mores mixed breed with human dream bands All fly apart anew, again on real, now needful strive.
I can only wish, only vainly hope: Real storms still drive on time's twenty-rope.
