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.

Reviews

A scene like that is always worth the trip.

[Wondering Mind]

I pray that you BOTH came back safely?

I'll never go on a trip with my mother in-law...ever...unless she's paying, that is...and that trip is to japan...and she leaves me alone the entire trip... She's cool as long as we don't stay around each other for extended periods. What to make of this, then... She got over it? Nice how a scene made of serenity can change people's minds. Great work.
