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

    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!

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

    I love this so much. I love the tone and descriptions, because they so show us the girl in the image with such accuracy, because they remind us of what really matters. Love is the brightest ladder.

    From the bemusement in the first line, I was captivated by this. The idea of enlightenment as a displacement is a flash of insight!
