Analysis of Aspiring
What lofty mountain lies ahead?
A spiraling mass against a sky of limitless endeavor
None but the brave its peak to tread,
Poised placidly atop in splendor.
Give me unfettered friend of mind
A will to attain the hight with positive persistence,
That I may soar again, and find
The summit without resistence.
And at the top of all ambition.
A time to look and see,
Not stopping with success a reason,
A master I, of inhibition
Can fly to greater, broad horizons.
