Sweetest Pinnacle

Occupied without you, my heart still has much to accomplish, stumbling through days and nights saddled with lofty goals. Pressed near collapse by your face and smile, these my daily inducements, today no heavier than yesterday, the weight of my endeavor seems greater still. No closer to the sweet pinnacle, harsh hurt gives way to emotions and endless steps, struggling to advance still in the direction of dimly lit aspirations. - Written 11 June 2014 at Fort Hood, Texas
