Quatrain of Tunnel Vision

Tunnel Vision - looking in the dark

If you are looking for a light
at the end of the tunnel,
be sure you are looking
in a dark
shaft,

Often, too much time is spent
seeking a bright spot in the
light, where it is hard
to see fore or
aft.

You can spend your life in
pursuit of a dream only
too find you have been
looking in the wrong
place,

Illusions do not light up if you
are not in the dark: in the
light of day, dreams
leave no ghostly
trace.
