The Skyline Makes Me Wonder

 

Whenever I drive

To distances

Greater then my box

I can’t help but see

The skyline as

The beginning of a race

Never won

Mixed with a journey

Never taken.

 

Seeing city buildings

Against the forever blue

Takes me behind the wall

Of medieval castles

From long ago

When knights saved

The day…

Not for glory but

Love and honor

Then I start to wonder

How I would’ve faired

Where heroes

Lived and died by the sword

Since I’ve never had to walk

The razors edge.

 

The visions of

The mountaintops

Pointing towards heaven

Taking my imagination

On a flight through

Eagle eyes…

Again I wonder

If my heart

Could really handle

The fearless flight

Of possibilities

When all I’ve known

Is the security

Of roads and sidewalks.

 

Then I come home

And wonder no more

For being human

I get lost in that old

Human emotion…

 

Comfort.

this is wonderful, sometimes stepping out of the box opens
new windows through new eyes, driving to new places can
so bring new perspectives to you, and when you are in your
own domain that sometimes we get bored of are suddenly
more appreciated!

Wow, Dale what an amazing poem i like it because it does make us wonder..
It is also beautiful as is the format.
I kind of wish knights were still around, but when i think, they are.. just don't look the same.. Me, I think you would have fared well ...
That human emotion Comfort is a strong one and so is your poem ..
