&quot;It&#039;s a saying they have, that a man has a false heart in his mouth for the world to see, another in his breast to show to his special friends and his family, and the real one, the true one, the secret one, which is never known to anyone except to himself alone, hidden only God knows where.&quot;<br /> -James Clavell, &quot;Shogun&quot;

The world loomed above
I climbed to the highest point
And saw distant shores.

This was a tribute to Lord of the Rings...I was sort of trying to convey how the character is faced with a task of essentially rising over a world that daunts him (being a hobbit). Once he gets there, he can never go back, and can only look onward towards the "distant shores" (the gray havens). 

Thank you for your feedback, though. I appreciate it, and it gave me a lot to think about.

Okay, this is different. It's not bad for it being the first attempt. The only thing i can't figure out is what was the image you wanted people to get from this, because it was really vague to me. Good job for the first try tho.
