Derriziel Pierce Poet Rhyme

Two Minds

A hill to climb, a path to follow
Upward, toward a sky so hollow
With small pumps, my admiration doth grow
As I rap my global flow.

No trudging through its mud and dirt
No burning lungs, no aching hurt
But hark, a spirit of joy and calm
As I turn my back and clinch my palm.

A rough and rocky path for today
With a sugary foothold, no artificial sway
Glory, Glory, until I stand
On mountain high, my own diabolical land. 

And so I stay, to catch my air,
And grasp out at my worldly fair
So small and far away this lair
But in this light, two minds will pair.
