In poetry or prose, give some meaning to the cliche "The sky's the limit." Explore it in whatever light you want!

Why do we say that

the sky's the limit?

the hell with the sky - 

I'm reaching for a heaven 

invisible to all but me.

it's something like a book,

if books were made of starlight

and sunshine 

woven together 

it's something like a quilt,

if quilts were fashioned 

from the sweet caress of a spring zephyr,

and the brisk kiss of a winter's gale

it's something like a hug,

if hugs thrust you past the outer reaches of conceived possibility

and cloaked you in the mystery of the universe

the sky's the limit?

i don't believe that for a second.
