&quot;When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will long to return.&quot;<br /> -Leonardo da Vinci<br /> <br /> &quot;Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.&quot;<br /> -Carl Sagan

To reach and reach
but never grasp.

To jump
and never fly.

Always too short,
always too young.

To know how far I've yet to go,
but to try anyway.
Because I might
grasp
and fly
tomorrow.
