What is reaching,
what kind of rung?
Reach for right
Reach for Wong
Reaching, overreaching, success and greed,
all subsumed under achieve
Reality can be reached in two ways,
neither is pleasant
Reality is reached by opening your eyes,
wide to the truth
Some don't realize they've reached their limit
till they hear sirens.
Snicker, He reached for his gun,
I was quicker
When dreams cannot be reached,
another's trust may be breached
I believe my audience has reached its limit.

thought provoking write. your last line makes you sound as though you're giving up though..hoping i'm wrong!
Interesting thought, and apropo as I have stage 4 cancer. Actually these were some musings, some silly, and I though the reader would quickly tire of them. Thanks for reading and commenting.
my best wishes go out to you!

I am so sorry to hear about your cancer. Your poems are always a great read for me. I hope you get better soon.
