Where the sky meets the age grayed mountains there is a line of sight that transcends all thought by pure beauty can we be rendered speechless and feel that which has been created before us To test our boundaries, ascend these slopes only there can our true selves be found, with the pretense cast aside, a chance to face a task which is ours alone, a victory found only within ourselves Testing our resolve, the dark forces gather seen as rumbling clouds far across the meadow known to us is the danger of ascending, yet unknown is what we will receive once completed in our task There are many places to start, especially given the width and breadth of the human heart, and to attain love through the paiin of failure, is the sweetest of rewards, that one could ever hope to achieve A real man kisses his children goodnight |

I'm so glad I saw this...what a neat piece of work you've got here, from the creative phrasings to the subtle internal rhyme...you've expressed the recognition of Wisdom in its natural elemental succession. Wonderful work, to be sure. |
