No Limitation
Behind forest there is beautiful meadow
Upon it trees cast shadow
The extensive boughs of oak tree
Give it primordial majesty
Beneath the forest a stream
In which all kinds of fish swim
Small lake nourishes the stream
It is wonderful like a dream
The edge of the pond is covered by rushes
Through the water skitter blazes
Horsetail not as tall as in past ages
Aura put on a soul by marsh marigold never cases
Upon the meadow bumble bee
Will be
First thing you will see
Fallowed by flowers full of beauty
From dandelions and butterfly weed
To hardy geranium, and tiger lilies, all growing from a seed
The bees make honey that is sweet
From the various flowers beneath your feet
Coming from the East
Meadow is slowly engulfed by a mist
With it comes cool summer breeze
You close your eyes suddenly you know what meaning of life is
The meadow is beautiful but it has limitations
So what are limitations
The fact that you can only see
What your biology
Allows you to see
And if you could see
What abstract rather than concrete mind can see
This vision also limited would be
Limitation is you need consciousness to have a soul
Limitation is you need a soul
At all
Limitation is that you die if you fall
And that you have to die at all
Limitation is the second law of thermodynamics you have to obey
And if you’d be so tall
That this law you wouldn’t need to obey
Other limitations would come your way
At any day
Even if you can think beyond abstract
Yet have your body and mind intact
And that ability came from concrete mind
And once reached different growth for the mind
You would find
You would still be partially blind
Even if you were writer of destiny
Or be omnipotent in your immortality
If you could reach infinity
All meaning disappearing would be
So how the heck can one be free
One possibility
Is when I look in her eyes as I kiss her seeing her soul glisten
We have no limitation
