pushed to borderlines
we found our thresholds
and those were beyond
your circle of thought
we stretched
re-prioritized
looked back
only to throw
a piteous glance at you
incarcerated
in your limited thought
then, once again
we looked back
in gratitude
for sending us
where we are today
way beyond your reach

There is a sense of achievement in moving beyond those
“incarcerated

Very nicely done. I love the progression of moving beyond one’s supposed threshold to a new and better one.

Thank you so much, Dwight! Boxes or thresholds are actually comfort zones, but one needs to keep re-inventing the space.
