Limits

How do I know them
without testing
How do I test
without facing fears

Once set, how do I
accept and maintain
Or know when it’s time
to test them again

Questions resurfacing
during recent scenic,
but harrowing drives

Past experiences in cars
suddenly out of control
inducing present fears

My desire to stand under
the wisdom of giant trees
tugging at my soul

A fear my body remembers
fighting with an experience
my heart strongly desires

A work in progress
Accepting my limits
Not giving them control

Forever treasuring the
feeling of walking through
a grove of Giant Sequoias
