Transcendental Willpower (Sestina)

how many paths, how many loves

living and changing and ever climbing

learning and growing and springing over

like purple sunsets entering red mountains

each experience reopening your eyes, gaining

wisdom and freedom, ever increasing strength

 

Atlas holding Gaia, never ending strength

becoming charged and overcome with love    

encircled with history and caring, gaining

a repertoire of eternal connections, climbing

into dream fields surrounded by mountains

will this serenity ever be over?

 

though hopefully the uncertainty will be over

and that we will have strength

to conquer all the encountered mountains

created by each newly attained love

embrace avenues crossed and obstacles climbed

to have pleasure and confidence gained

 

though will paradise ever be gained

allowing forgetfulness of pain we're over

while still remembering friendships we climbed

every node you pass gives strength

for the next stage of love

giving elemental power to move mountains

 

our past shadows creating fresh mountains

to relive, to adore; understanding gained

so many different forms of love

meaningfully distinct, passed but never over,

each one providing new wonderful strength

to allow us unique nirvanas climbed

 

always strive for larger heights climbed

those hopes will be worth mountains

don't fear any loss of strength,

weakness endured is often willpower gained

hate and sorrow should never over-

come the treasureful bliss of love

 

*Don't be afraid of the climb to the top of the mountain

unbelievable strength will be gained,

all the adventures that are over will become unforgettable love*
