Too many of us spend our lives on trivial things and don't think about the big picture like we should. We stand on the shoulders of giants. We all should contribute something beside offspring before we pass on.

A Hiker Looks to the Far Horizon © Dougal Waters Getty Images Far Horizon Do not think small, if you think it all, shoot for the far horizon. For squandered lives, minions in the hives, amount to little more, then going to sleep, and then, arising. Countless things, we do to please, our egos' ease, that amount to little, isn't at all surprising. So rack your brain, learn a new refrain, and turn a blame, into enterprising. You are better than, a henpecked hen, assert yourself to learn, be more than what you yearn, reach out for the far horizon. Soon you will find, you've lost what had bind, your mind in lockstep thought. You will rise to the occasion, find a new avocation, over the far horizon. Copyright 2019 © Ronald W.

I've just realized, I'm not getting alerts for my fav poets "following". Have to write the office a note.

This one hit home,as I've spent the past few years is such a quest and you're right...leaving baggage behind, changing habits, et al is what gives us the right to breathe what precious air is left. Thanks for posting this, Ron.

Good advice, Ron. Sadly, a lot of us have difficulty flying away from our "comfortable" nest. Love and peace to you,

Regis.

To far for me is the far horizon, so I will have to just stay where I am & have always been, but understand and supportively respect the far horizons, and you...-e-

Lovely poem!

the 'far horizon' is certainly something to work towards, if you've a mind to. I suppose becoming is more challenging than being. Thanks for sharing. r

It's the little pleasures in life that are part of the big picture.

Ditto what Jerry said. The horizon is a great symbolic inspirator. I wrote an entire book about the horizon, called Near and Distant Horizons. You outdid yourself on this one.

Wise words to live by. All it takes is a can do attitude, and believing in yourself.
