Onward

Move onwardly,

My dear,

Daring to caress the further is worth nothing,

If not understood first. 

So dream abruptly,

Do not fall asleep as if it were welcomed,

But let it frighten your soul.

Speak wildly,

My dear,

 You mustn’t maintain a thought,

Breed words that jump quite far,

and further even then.

See less,

Feel often,

Forget.
