Will Power Resolution

My mountain, will I climb it today?
Will I strive to make it, or just stay
far away?

The powers in my muscles will not count 
for this mountain.
Just thoughts  in my head, to overcome ,
is at play.

I want to get up there, will it happen today?
Obstacles like harden obsidian, dark and
challenging impede my path.

Try as I may, mind games prevail,
and influence my every thought.
Will I see the next day,
Or die on the way?

Envision, don't deliberate is what I must do.
Find the path that is right , just for you.

Being positive is the only way to climb 
my mountain, and make it fade away.

We scribe the journal bib by bit. Always knowing we have the option to quit. What keeps the clock up on the wall? That's eternally God's call.

This poem is not going to my favorites quite yet...IT IS GOING TO MY REFRIGERATOR !! This is where my mountain is...every time I open it I shall think of the dark and hard path that attempt to obstruct my way. Nice poem to spark meaningful discusssion. A true classic! Gwendolen
