Slumbering Greatness
Looking in necessity desires adept sense motivated in the heart,
Interest walks a tangible breath upon landscape decorated boldly
Needful symmetry weaves a delicate balance at curious fed start
Diverse fantasy leads will toward preordained victory held coldly.
Ambition lays foundation of boldness and courage built dreams,
Submerged reality swims a roaring river upward in the mind,
Measured steps strive to stabilize rocky journey through streams
Integrity strives harder against enemies forceful and behind.
Tangible aspiration raises temerity beyond natural validity,
Hesitation dies agonizing beyond its fortress veiled heart,
Lumbering anticipation steadies faith railed needlessly sharp
Slumbering greatness rises like startled hope awakened freely.

My brain is washed away - submerged in tangible thoughts and weaving words, struggling to understand the fantasy you present.

Thank you for the comment. I try to get everyone to think what the poem means to them. Sometimes I get to deep. @lindasmith247 said I nailed her perfectly, figuratively speaking that is.
And that perhaps is why I have been struggling. Because not everything has to be for (or about) me. LOL
Thank you for the reminder, delightful man.
