That Which Is Sacrificed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

It stcks with a grip,
Cemented and stays fixed.
An ambitious wish...
Does this.

A desire acquired that remains ignited,
Like a light brightening the sky...
To witness with eyes whether closed,
Or opened wide...
One's dream never dims or dies,
Until witnessed.

Devoted with discipline,
And kept faith held within...
Becomes timeless,
To dismiss any thoughts given to limits.

And that which is sacrificed,
Is comprehended as a fact of life.
As blessings eventually come to be delivered.
To begin as if never ending them,
For the one left satisfied and ecstatic.
