A Higher Peak

Created by a God,

Moulded by the clay of fabrication,

We open our eyes upon a new light,

Dazed and confused we begin our fragile journey,

Teetering on the edge of plain and mountain,

Should our cliff crumble before our feet,

And tumble into the abyss,

Yet fret not for tears behold our strength,

From every fall we take,

We will climb a higher peak.

Though we would not reach cloud,

Heavens choice of residence,

We can rise higher if we allow our souls to do so,

Though we are weak in mortal skin and flesh,

A heart can sing the praises of grace,

And upon melody of old strength would lend us it's wings,

Though fleeting is it's aid,

We must prove our willingness in time.  

The only obstacle we face in life,

Is the negativity created from our delusion of perfection,

We are not perfect as man would like to believe,

But a flawed production of life,

Yet as we know life is filled with cracks and creases,

Just as time and space will continue,

We will live unto the new dawn,

And ponder our existence

we will live unto the new dawn and ponder our existence. Such a profound write. this one went to my core. We are frail, flawed but there is that focus on eternity - on that which is better and beyond our simple linear existence.

Words to live by indeed. As deep an assessment of the human condition as one is likely to read. I especially liked "From every fall we take, We will climb a higher peak." A well-articulated and instantly relate-able piece :)

Very well done my friend. If we choose not to reach, we will never reach the heights we seek. I love the message in this and the way it is delivered. Very nice.
