Limbs fatigued, yet charged with dreams,
knowing the view will continue to get better.
Passing by the pessimists,
anchored by their own tongues.
Pausing to inhale the woolgathering,
frozen in illusion.
Before the footprint, free will determines the pitch,
endurance is blessed with angelic aide~
~destiny diverges in life’s promenade.

Dang, it sure is easier to write about this sort of ambition and endurance. I fear I am stuck in the woolgathering. lol

Thank You for Your entry: The Promenade
This piece tugged at Spirit and I have to chuckle for while I was reading...
I kept hearing: Walmart
Now unless You shop there and forgot to pick up something or a store like a Walmart
So I read several more times and while reading I kept hearing word: Cancer...
but like a Poet I read in another contest...
with this word...from what I am seeing...
it feels like...negativity can eat at one like a cancer Kept hearing word: Grandmother...
and word: feisty like feisty Spirit...
also pecan...whether pecan pie...but word pecan...
I was seeing~
while getting towards end...seeing a gas station.
like a Chevron...for whatever reason
Powerful images You have shared~~
These lines grabbed and pulled~
Passing by the pessimists,
anchored by their own tongues.
Pausing to inhale the woolgathering,
frozen in illusion
Magnificent take on the prompt~
