Shepherding the "flock" of ambitions
Like queues of the morning glory
Lined up to be surfed
The week has been long
Like a journey of epic voyage
Trials and tribulations
Dragons to have slayed
Turbulence that threaten
Birds without wings
Man with imaginations, strive
Stood tested, by virtue on my making
On days like this, stood in t' out back of wilderness
I wish to surf the highest winds
Glide on the clouds, the morning glory
Between the heavens and earth.
At this stage, in the process of defining a man
I am not ready to pass the bucket,
Pack a suit case and join the heavens,
I am King Leonidas, facing off the Persians
Though I feel like a warrior after conquest
Coming off the battle field, with fresh scars
Gliding the morning glory for a reprieve
If only for a nights rest
Still too much indulgence
To be acquired on earth
And love is still blossoming
It is with what joy we look forward to
With stories yet to tell, many more to be added
As life experience, as the lives we lived
Yet between genesis and revelations on course
We yearn the need to come up for fresh air
On days like this, calling "time out" on battlefields
I wish to ride the highest clouds home, carried by the winds
No wings to flap, surfing the morning glory on glides
To finish off the long and testing week
Very nice! I feel like that..too much I want to do to leave in the clouds yet!

It seems there are always dragons to be slain, battles to be waged!
