"this far,
and no further."
-said god to the sea-
and bound'ry set
ocean and dry land between.

"this far,
and no further."
said Soul to the mind,
inhibiting chaos
to peaceful design.

"this far,
and no further."
what gods we become!
in choosing to what
or to whom we'll succomb.

enthused
and enlightened,
behaving like stars,
who say unto darkness
"come only
this far!"
