Scaling Moonlight

Standing in wonderment
from a distant vantage point
pondering the need to conquer
light

I need no ladder or rope
to scale the orb of
enlightenment, my
vision is clear in a golden
oasis

The beauty
of  life is right
before me in the promises
of reflective light

standing on the edge of
reality I am the dream
child of the future...

embracing light with
 love

  3. It is important, I think, to try to keep that clear vision. Not always easy though. I like the idea of thinking of oneself as dream child of the future embracing life with love! May it be so! Do take care of yourself, and do not be a stranger!

  6. I like "golden oasis." I want an imaginary ladder to get closer and maybe see myself in the moon mirror.
