The ClimbA Poem by Jessica J
Into and out of, we part on such sorrow
No person to come, not one to borrow Each struggle we pass, each deliberate fall Beats certain war drums, an age old call. Inside a dark room, halfway light Up each step we go, each forgone fight We trudge through harmful, painful shock Search relief from boulders, sharp stabbing rock. Caverns and caves pull our air away Valleys and forges we get stuck and stay The mountain up high, looms ever far The peak is nirvana, our ultimate star. You climb up ahead and beckon me near I fall back behind, worn down by the fear I trudge right on past you, as you get bogged down You look up to see, I wait with your crown. We pull each with tethered, taught worn out strings Our hearts on the end tied firmly round rings How clear is this destiny, how clear is the road? We only need strength to carry this load. © 2015 Jessica J |
