Poem Title:
Poem
It starts beautifully in tropical rain forest beyond majestic mists Birds of paradise show off their colors to admire their exquisiteness team persists But there among the deep mists Casting huge shadow their target exists The way up starts little bit bumpy but it matters not The slope is still gentle and of vegetation there is a lot Word fear was not yet taught Or thought But as vegetation changes from tropical paradise to eerie moorland ever expanding And the sheer granite rock face seems daunting While at the top there is volcano blazing Right now it is not bird of paradise but sad condor that will sing Yet in his black feathers there is still luster and his visage majesty The team is still brave and free But way up soon turns into infinity And the summit beyond mist hard to see The air turns thin That is where real life will begin The death in precipice is price you pay if you don’t win But if you do win you have to do it clean The challenge tests the very soul It doesn’t come easy it don’t come hard will it come at all? Many will stop in fear of fall But few will continue towards the goal Higher to the top ice covers the path And fire of lava is everywhere there’s no ice just in case survival was still in the math It went from pleasant to unpleasant and now to full of wrath Now they are thinking endurance before they just needed a bath First it was easy then manageable but now all hell is breaking loose But they still have option of which path to choose Thousands of things at once take issues Justice is blind as the trouble brews But they reach the peak at last As down on the valley mountain shadow will cast They put the cross on the top of the peak and their victory they broadcast The daunting challenge their unyielding souls have surpassed
