Narrow ledges,
living on the edge
difficult
distinguishing reality
in this realm they
call life
high above the city
lights
noise pollution,
crowd pollution
hate, crime and
greed
lurk on the city
streets below
lost souls busy
scaling city walls
need to reach a
higher elevation
understanding; new
revelation
Climbing, Higher
Reaching for that
star above
Walking narrow
ledges
no excuses, for the
abuses
mild contusion
& confusion
freedom from the
delusions
cut the harness,
inhale/exhale
gasping for air,
need to breathe
come follow me,
open rooftops
wipe away our fears
& tears
you & I seeking
universal light
on narrow ledges,
making pledges
Climbing, Higher,
almost there
Reaching for that
star above
There’s a view I
want you to see
a place where our
spirits can be free
each step filled
with anticipation
one step closer to
salvation
intense feeling of
elation
walking narrow
ledges
hang on tight,
guiding light
time of reflection, new direction
embracing freedom on narrow ledges
Climbing, Higher we
are there
shining bright with
that star above...

Deletesmiles.
happy new year soon enough as well.
I think we always hope to find a better place above all the ills of earthly life at times. A greater plane from where to be seemingly happier...
ReplyDeleteEileen
Eileen, I hope we can find that plane and soar on open wings.
DeleteI like the idea of climbing higher and higher, in the direction of the light!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very Happy Holiday!
Hi Mary,
DeleteClimbing one step at a time closer to the light..may you have a Merry Christmas!
Getting higher and higher
ReplyDeleteWhere things are less dire
Just a place to be
Two if by sea
But many refuse to walk the ledge
Afraid they'd fall of the edge
Never knowing what could be
Too busy stuck with the crap below like a busy bee
Merry Christmas and all of that
From Pat and the cat lol
Two by sea exploring all that can be
Deleteclimbing mountains, sailing oceans
where two spirits can be free..
Merry Christmas Pat from a light
hearted fool...
There are definitely times when we feel we need to go higher and higher and get a view at the world from a different perspective. Happy Christmas Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteGabriella..Happy Christmas to you as well..always striving for a better view...
DeleteI wish for that view today and in the coming year ~ We need that hope and light more than ever ~ Wishing you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ~ Cheers ~

ReplyDeleteembracing freedom on narrow ledges
Narrow ledges can offer unwanted resistance. It's what make life interesting though! Nicely Truedessa!
Hank
Hi Hank,
DeleteThat is true but, sometimes we have to walk narrow ledges to reach a place of beauty..Always nice to read your thoughts..Thank you !
Is it not true (Ha! "Truedessa")
ReplyDeletethat as we come to "see"
some speciality in life
--or out of it...in light--
our wish is to share.
Spread the news,
let another be aware
"There’s a view I want you to see..."
(you wrote! and implied)
And I want you to see it with me.
How beautifully you write, Trudessa,
and what a beautiful thought, inspired,
which I here and now received from
ledges so
narrow.
PEACE and LIGHT! And Merry Christmas!
Steve,
DeleteI always enjoy reading your thoughts as you are a deep
thinker. Thank you for your lovely words and for visiting.
Peace & Light! and Merry Christmas!
Thankyou:-). May there be light for all.
ReplyDeleteYes, may there be light for all...
DeleteYes, the narrow path is always more difficult to walk, isn't it? Having the right light makes the difference. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHello,
DeleteThanks for visiting a narrow path is always harder but, can lead to
open meadows or mountaintops...Merry Christmas!
I am afraid of height and the thought of a narrow ledge completely freezes me. Interesting that it would be inspiring otherwise . . .
ReplyDeleteI find this poem remarkably sad after today's news of the father and son and the highrise. I know that was not the intention of this poem, it is but the circumstances of when I read it.
ReplyDeleteMark,
DeleteI had not heard of this until I read your comment this is indeed a very sad event. My heart goes out to the family that is left behind. Hope peace is found.
For me, a climb from desolation to hope, a message of light
ReplyDeleteThank you..it was meant to be a message of hope and light...
Deletesometimes it's a lot of work getting above it all...
ReplyDeleteThat is true hard work and some faith...
