The Wide Sky

A Look up on high  
Pure blue that catches the eye 
Makes you want to fly.

Height that makes you see 
The reasons why you are free
To create a dream. 

Dare to strive up high
Where limits do not exist
Rise where eagles fly.

Dare to find the place
Where wise phantom minds inspire
You to divine grace.

Hi Caroline... nice to hear from you. This is great poetry to start off the day. gets one motivated and inspired. Nice choice of wording to produce this desired effect. Funny how a manipulation of words can create any array of attitudes and feelings. Such is the power of poetry. Nice job of it!

Bonjour, Caroline, espérez que vous êtes bien et aviez une semaine grande! I was too busy recently with revising my manuscript for my book. Now nearly everything is completed, but only have to change my cover a bit. So many times I dreamt that I could fly!!! Ihr Gedicht gefaellt mir gut! Alles Gute, Gert, et un week-end agréable!

I just love the inspiration you provide in this wonderfully uplifting poem, Caroline, and I'm delighted to see you posting again. We all have our struggles and things with which we have to deal, but we should always "Dare to strive up high." Excellent poetry, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
