RISE

As the waves rise above the sea
Clearing the coast for all to see
Stealthily moving at a low ebb
While making ridges of great height
That seem like bridges at first sight
To seer of leisure
To lovers of pleasure

As rivers overflow the bank
To spread its contents over the land
As sewage flows out of septic tanks
Fluidly chasing one another
To escape from its confines

As birds hover above the sky
As they flap their wings upward
As they perch on the iroko trees
Watching, scheming, planning
For the next meal onward

So can you rise beyond the limits
So must you fight against the limits
So can you face your fears
And set the motions for the fare
The sky is no more the limit
So must your flight not delimit
Your goals and ambitions in life

Rise above the perceived boundary
Boundaries you built for yourself
Walls of failures and constraints
Bridges of unseen vast territories
Shackles of unshaken strings
That bind men against his treasures

The best is yet to come
As we sojourn in an endless world
Endless possibilities
Countless opportunities
To what you can achieve
To what I can achieve!
