    About this ebook

    FANTASY leads us to worlds of thought
    That mirror our lives, our hopes -- our fears.
    The heart of life is a quest of hope
    For something beyond both grasp and sight.
    A poem captures journey's essence:
    Visions of change along a stream
    Convey adventures to one who thrives
    On dreams that transcend what's safe and dull
    For cities of gold on hills afar.
