Distance, dances on
the horizon..tantalising,
beckoning a forgotten
yesterday;
Now, holds the days
memories..short and
sweet..comforting in it's
familiarity, brazen with
thoughts of contentment;
Fingers of tomorrow shimmer
with the excitement of the unknown
territory, stretching before..
never-ending;
Wisdom, teaches to embrace
all things familiar and not to
look back..broaden horizons
and stretch for the obtainable..
know our strengths and weaknesses;
To you I say, Never doubt yourselves;
Hold close..
the expectant air.........

Bravo!...to take charge of one's own future is never easy..but imagine the great pride when one achieves one's hearts desire
-
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks for your kind comments

Yes, "short and sweet" is very much overdone but I felt justified in it's use in this context.."limited and sickly" would not have worked quite as well
( sorry just my humor getting out of hand ) I do appreciate very much your comments even if my weird humor sometimes takes over
-
Thank you

Why thank you, once again

Thank you Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you for your comments We all have moments of weaknesses...I have had my share but at the end of the day, we are the only ones who can make a difference to our lives...no one else, and to do that we have to have faith in ourselves. Once again many thanks for your comments, they are appreciated

This was really good. I liked it. I have never read any of your work before so i decided to check it out. Your imagery that was portrayed was very in depth and down to earth. I really enjoyed this write. thank you for sharing.

This is pretty decent - kind of like those "stiff upper lip" type poems. It's as if you're saying, "No matter what, don't give up!" Actually, I have given up on a couple of rare occassions in my life, but in retrospect I think it's better not to! This poem is a little simplistic, but it's good - and maybe it's simplistic because it deals with such a truism: that of valuing self-confidence. When you get right down to it, a lot of amazing things have happened because of confident people! Again, good job!

great
great words put together in graceful manner -
Great poem! It's written with such grace and love.Not to mention care Wonderful job.

Lovely imagery in poem.
I agree there is a great deal of imagery here. I have waited to see what you would come up with and this was very enjoyable to read. -
Great Idea
Very good imagery here, lyrical and lovely. If I would change one thing, it would be "short and sweet", don't get me wrong, it fits well in the context of the poem. It's just a little over used is all My favorite stanza is "Fingers of tomorrow..." Very powerful and uplifting. A great poem. Thanks for sharing, cutiepie

that poem was like a breathe of fresh air. a lovely write i truly enjoyed reading this. thanks so much for sharing this delightful piece i hope to read more of your writes l8er
-
fear of the unknown, fear of failure can you hold you back if you let it. that's my biggest problem
but i agree with your words and am doing better at takes chances...for if you don't you'll become stagnant in a swamp of your own making.
nicely done
-
Thank you You are most kind in your comments. Many thanks
