Nine - the Horizon

Nine – The Horizon Nine – the horizon views perfection Endowed with power of abundant fruits Completeness of eternal promise Ancient curved mystery of beauty Restored transitions accomplishment Patient meditation harmony Multiplication of the flawless Symbol of inspiration’s talents Power of nine months to birth nine gifts The ancient Greeks called the number nine The Horizon 5-16-21 Contest: A Time for Nines Sponsor: Michelle Faulkner

Thank you for your visit Heidi. I never realized the meanings and implications of the number nine! Finding the Greek interpretation was a wonderful discovery - one I am still pondering. So glad you found this poem inspiring! That means so much to me. Stay well. All the best!

As such, number 9, very well-penned verse Sam, is a limit, abound, or the ultimate goal. The Greeks referred to “nine” as the horizon, beyond which lay the nonade, or nothing

Thank you Lasaad. The number nine has definitely become a mystical experience. I so enjoyed plumbing its depths and meanings. Sandwiched in between eight and ten it often loses our attention in anticipation of ten -its amazing depth. Blessings of nine times nine to you!
