Unlimited Poem by Barry Middleton

Unlimited

Rating: 5.0


dark and cold winds roar
out beyond the prison door
hidden mystery to explore
no matter how we spin it
for the sky is not the limit

we may find in deepest space
wisdom rests within its grace
and power we cannot efface
soaring minute to minute
for the sky is not the limit

yet we meet in human kind
a faulty creature nearly blind
carnal flesh at war with mind
still we must transcend it
for the sky is not the limit

You have tried to find the mystery of universe in these beautifully poetic lines. We certainly need to look beyond the sky to know the meanings.
