Ambition In the hushed stillness, ere the sun had made Its way into the royal purple sky And chas ed the silver maiden from her throne; Before the velvet cloak of night had flown To its retreat, I watched the clouds float by Like httle tinsel soldiers on parade. And as I marked them in their hurried flight Across the azure dome, I saw therein The passing of the years — like fleeting arrows Reaching the mark before the straining bows Are loosed. For, hardly does a year begin Before it ends, the new year come to sight. Then mother nature ' s reaching, unseen hand Turned out the twinkling candles, one by one; Only a silver lamp hung in the sky To shed its light upon the earth. While high In her majestic realm a lighted sun Began its climb above the dewstained land. And in the sun poised on the brink of day, I saw ambition. There, in that spark of light, All dreams that I have ever hoped to see Come true, were in that torch ahead of me. With hope, I be-held the passing of the night. And watched the sun prepare to light my way. Donald Tippie
