Rise Above
i would like to say i have someThing insightful to say abOut “rising above”
i have been on my roof and have had a bird’s eye view still
far from enlightenment
gOne to the top of the
mountain looked down all things seem small
looked out the window of
an airPlane sometimes i see
where i come from
sometimes only clouds if i am told to, "rise above" someOne is saying
get out of the “muck” stop wallowing in it see the big picture
it is always the
mountains for me i do not have to
go to the top they are so big
and have been here a very
long time they say nothing compared
to them
my problems are small the
sea offers this same promise as
well as the sky

This poem give me great joy, Annell. Why would I question a tree or a mountain or the sea? They have so much to teach me. I just need to hush in their presence.
Again, this is a lovely, lovely poem!
I love the perspective of the bigger picture - the vastness of sky, sea , and desert, the endurance of the timeless mountains.....your poem reminds me of a Buddhist workshop presenter who once told us when we look out of a small window at the sky, we may see only dark clouds, but with a bigger window (perspective), we see there is some blue sky after all............
Ah yes perhaps our problems are small. We have to put our own problems in perspective to the greater whole. That is the lesson I take from your wonderful poem.
Lovely how this poem circles from "should" to "have done" to knowing the big picture is always there as a "promise." Brilliant!
I love the vast space as solace in your poem. Just beautiful and fulfilling.
Love the message in this Annell!
