The Climb

A poem about a view.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Climb

Up and up we

Climb up the spiral

Staircase.

 

Each step you take

You curse my

Namesake

 

Each step I take

Each Moment

I wish someone

Else could

Take my place

 

When we get

To the top

Look out

At the vista

 

Watching the ocean

Lick the sugar sand

Coastline

 

Nothing but

Peace is

On your face.

 

Climbing the

Lighthouse Was

Not a waste.

 

Author's Note

I went on a trip with my Mother-in-law once and this was our story.

This could be seen as a metaphor to a lot of things. Great job :)

Real nice imagery of the lighthouse and the granular sugary sand. I love light houses!

I'm sure it was all worth it in the end, sometimes the journey is painful.

I've climbed to the top of hatterass...and a few others, it's never a waste

I can just imagine the torture of that long climb and finally reaching the top and finding the wonderful reward waiting there. Then all the hardship getting there is forgotten! Wonderful write.

[Mauricio Montoya]

Sounds like you've captured a memory. 'Lick the sugar sand coastline' is a very creative combination of words. Very nice.
