My heart envisions what my eyes refuse to see. ~Poet Walter J Wojtanik
Stealing pieces of every moment
held in fleeting patience; lost
in a discipline most sublime.
The time for tears will fly
in the face of the heroic.
Prophets gazing; Grazing
the limits of their visions.

THROUGH THE EYES OF A POET'S HEART 
Really nice poem! I liked your take on the prompt!
Thanks Gaurang. I’m glad you liked it.
Nice one, Walt. I love it when people manage conciseness in these wordles – I tend to ramble all over the place.
But I love it when you ramble Viv. There’s nothing like an older Rambler! 😉 Thanks Dear, hope you’re feeling better.
What a tight write, and full of aptness, Walt.
Irene, I’m always apt to be full of it! 😉 Thanks for the critique.
Very tidy piece!
Thanks Stan. it started out sloppy, but tidy fits better, doesn’t it?
Yes, I agree with those who have walked before you across this page – enjoyed the tightness here which in content is vast 🙂
Thanks Pearl.I think we’ve all earned the right to get tight from time-to-time! 😉
“grazing the limits”
As a former goatkeeper, this image reminds me of my flock, sticking their heads under and through the fence to nibble at the blades that were almost—but not quite—beyond their tongues!
Whirling Glimpses
Thanks MMT. As a former goalkeeper, I’ve taken too many shots to the head to know which side of the fence I’m on! 😉
oh to graze the.limits
Emma, ALWAYS choose to graze! Thanks for stopping by.
Yes..as others have said grazing the limits is a powerful concept and line
Thank you, Jae! Going for the gusto helps.
We went to a similar place – I think you managed a few lines less 🙂
And we used ‘Fly’ differently!

Thanks Jules.
concise and precise. Nicely done. I like the enjambment – and the ending – very much.
Thanks, Nan. I love when words come together like that as well. I even got a rise from the ending after I read it a few times myself!
Well done Walt. You always amaze me with your concise way and I think, “could I?” and then answer, “not a chance”…lol.
Veronica, always a pleasure to hear your take. I beg to differ. I believe you “could”. Like the old Alka-Seltzer commercial: “Try it, you’ll like it!”
Likr yhr way everything comes together & you use the words!
Thanks Marian. I appreciate the comment. When the words start to flow, sometimes, they put themselves together.
Just worked with my son about being concise with writing – I think I will have to share this with him for a perfect example! By the way, I really like the name of your blog!
Thank you and thanks for visiting. I’ve written for years, but until I was able to write from my heart totally, I never considered myself a poet. The heart sees things a poet expresses.
I really like ti when people can pack all the words meaningfully into something very tight. Excellent and thank you.
Thank you Peggy.
It is always good to be reminded that we set our own limits. Best to take a cat along with us to take the brunt of any ire.
Poor cat. I’ll handle the ire and spare the cat, Thank you.
Well-wordled whirl Walter (try saying that ten times fast…) – it’s succinct – always a point of envy for me – and not a word, space or line placed wrong … very cool.

And not an easy feat for a hot-head like me, Sharon! (The very cool part) Thanks,my friend. I’ll get over to the tree house a little later when company heads out!
Lovely…
As are you, Henri. Thank you.
