1. My Air Castle by Juan F. Salazar
My life'stomorrowbeckonsme
From distantmountains,highandlow;
My future seemsaboundlesssea,
Where movingpassionscome andgo.
Deepinmy heartambitionsdwells;
He cheersme up the highland,
Andguidesme throughthe hillsanddells
WhereinIpassthe busyday.
I cannot write withShakespeare'spen,
But I can love withShakespeare'sheart;
I love hisskill hiscraftof men,
His masteryof poet'sart.
I do notcare for fame,hashe,
Enthroned,waslike untoagod:
The depthshe reachedare dark tome.
But I will grope the wayshe tried.
I wearachievement’scoronet,
For bestare theywhosee thingsdone!
Andall my cares I soonforget
WhenI have wroughtmy workalone.
If I be metby adverse fate,
Andall my dreamsbe but invain;
Then,mustI work the harderyet
Withhighresolve totry again.
