Above

Eyes see above with the mind’s telescope
a canopy only limited by creativity
where it stretches as far as we can imagine
and what we choose to notice as clear or cloud
is more the process of our thinking.

For overhead is the place of possibilities
or simply a airy shroud we can’t penetrate
while we decide if it will have storms or sun
because we view it by our expectations.

Hope has wings that are given to flight
how it lets us soar even in showers,
but never if we just think we are earthbound
unable to notice the birds we might becomes.

So beyond us in that lofty layer
is truly a test of what we want to believe
some will always just see another wall
while a few shall find its bridges
to ascend within the heart.

That is trial of the spirit
whether we seek to rise or remain earthbound,
which is the question that controls the inside
as we stand upon any plot of solid ground.
