It's a Long Climb
Under a blazing
sun
we march up the mountain
Weary, we pause and
take deep breathes
fill our lungs with the mountain
air
It's a long climb
We have been thinking
for some time
about making this climb
We dig deeply into
ourselves
and continue onwards
Our legs
are tired
but bright spirits
that we are
we will not give in!
We are moving up
towards the heavens
Towards the goal
we know
to be our own
Birds flying above
gaze down on us
What do they think of our poor earthbound
selves?
It's so quiet here
Taking in nature's stark beauty
we make our ascent
and head up to the peak
Doesn't seem like
we will ever want
to descend
Yet all journeys come
to an end
After the peak has
been reached
It will be time to
head home
Where welcoming smiles
and outstretched arms
await
