Mountain

I feel frozen in place with a mountain before me there is no way around, I must scale it to move forward Refusing to believe that I CAN”T I take a step reaching forward clasping the impossible When I have a foothold and a grip I continue to move because moving is winning Feeling like I will never conquer the task will not move me forward so I advance out of sheer will Knowing that I will not be free until I do either succeed or fail is motivation to keep moving forward and upward I have no idea what I am doing but I am no longer frozen in place the more that I move forward peace embraces me

The mountains before us are really only dunes shifting as we age. Stumbling forward, I really could relate to your poem. Keep writing.
