Theme: Limitation and Persistence
Her head is above the clouds,
Feet dancing on its tips;
Reaching the lawn that surrounds her—
Having scruples on the sphere,
Making her shiver in fear.
Looking forthright,
She meets an anomalous line—
Touching up the dark and light;
Giving her a dazzling flare,
Shoving it to scurry as hare.
Though she wants to persist,
Wanting to climb up the highest nib,
Brow-beating her depth—
Exploiting her warmth,
Defeating its mind and wits.
It may be the tail and ruin;
She still travels over the horizon.
