New Zealand Sunrise

I see the mountain far aloft,
Its grace and beauty shine and oft',
I wonder from which vantage best,
to seek the wonders of its crest.

Yet this mound I wish not to climb,
for from here is the most sublime,
a feeling, when it's needed most.
To conquer'd make this pang a ghost.

So I'd prefer to sit and dream.
Than lose forever, what I seek.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
