Anthony Bianco Poet Free verse

Just Climb

Though dormant, your strengths are still present...
within the silky staircase of God-woven DNA.
Just peel away layers of perceived weakness
climb through the fiery muck and mire...
through acidic jive-devil-clawed lies.
Climb with a pickaxe of love and faith.
Shed decades of doubters and layers of deceivers.
Buoy the desperate dreamers, along the way.
Climb until ogres cannot reach your lowest high.
Until jealousy no longer bangs a cymbal against your mind.

An enriched life awaits those with fair intentions.
Climb as if every step uplifted the heavens.
Climb until you smack your face against the stars.
                         Just climb.

Craig Cornish May 23, 2019 at 2:13 PM Anthony, "smack your face against the stars". Your thoughts are so uplifting, almost like a Knute Rockne halftime speech. Loved your take on this.
