LIMITATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Breathe above me or below
Last Line: Life in time's captivity.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Life; Time


BREATHE above me or below;
Never canst thou farther go
Than the spirit's octave-span,
Harmonizing God and Man.

Thus within the iris-bound,
Light a prisoner is found;
Thus within my soul I see
Life in Time's captivity.
