When the waves keep rising up
And passionately try to reach the sky
The clouds up above, clap their hands
And their thunderous applause
Reverberates both low and high
But alas, the waves have fallen down again
Their efforts, it seems, have been in vain..
Look up, and it may seem
That the clouds have truly cried
Though they are satisfied
The waves have at least tried..
Look at the horizon
Where the sea seems to meet the sky
Does it not now seem
The sky is not too high??
So it is with humans
Who rise up with their might
Their faith does take them higher
As the rainbows in their sight
So let the twain meet
And on their ambition, ride
The outcome will be awesome
And swell their chest with pride..

Great write
thank you so much !
Q) who could possibly arrive here and leave again without
1) being impressed
2) hitting the heart shaped icon
3) leaving their kindest regards
A) I doubt if anybody could ..
Kindest Regards, Neville

Ambition and arrogance are a major human flaw that can lead to a disasterous fall. So well personified and a good metaphor.
also trying to make a point that even if we fall due to arrogance, over reach or not enough preparation, like the waves we can keep rising and trying to catch the rainbow on the horizon
thanks - have a great weekend
