Unlimited

Silently standing proud, so tall Its peaks search the ski's prophesy Inspiring souls to be quite bold To be filled with their majesty. What kind of stress did it all take? How long, how much devastation? How many earthquakes did it take? To reach their emancipation. To look at you, leaves me in awe Moved by your extreme reverence And all the potential yet to know That lives within each existence. Including my own, when climbing, Walls, high as their rocky boulders Reaching, looking for sure footing Beating temperatures much colder. Wishing so many times to quit Loosing faith, hope and the patience One will need to be equipped with Till their wisdom's my allegiance. Remember what started it all Remember the dream, the love felt Skies, unlimited, now you know The limits were your own concepts. By CarolineCecile Copyright © 06.10.11

Bonsoir Caroline! J'aime lire aujourd'hui en début de soirée ton poème! Malheureusement j'ai encore des gros problèmes avec ma main droite et le bras droit. The physiotherapy did not render any success (right side) and on July 1st I'll have my first treatment for my left shoulder. I hope you are feeling well and will have a great Sunday. Take care und alles Gute! Gert

I''m with Carolyn on this one of yours also. It took us on a journey A well symphonated metaphrical piece filled with philisophical and material imagery. ... whew! lots of big words for me first thing in the morning ... but your poem brought it on! I'd better get a coffee before my brain suffers a burn out! : ) nice job Caroline and I get what you mean about different forms. You are right.

In the beginning you had me thinking about the glaciers that cut the giant peaks at Yosemite, Caroline. Then you took me on an upward journey through life. Sometimes we struggle and want to give up, but we are indeed only limited by our own concepts. Excellent poem with a brilliant closing line. Love, Carolyn
