Worth the Climb

Who can un-travel the journey of love
of a thousand and one contradictions
of moments more - then less than enough
the weapon for a minds ammunition 

for all get wounded in the unsought war
the plight of being shot by friendly fire
eye on the enemy while at the door
lie the unsuspecting repercussions of desire

Much like soldiers fully geared
suited with the warfare of Cupid 
It's not just the suffering that we fear
but the suffering because we were stupid
 
There's more to marriage 
than want of bliss, more than euphoric kiss
lest it leave you with no more than a vestige
one must weigh their hope with the risk

And so with cautious heart we trod
this road we cannot un-travel
and hope beyond hope there is a God
for loves journey is a fragile battle

It can crush and it can kill
or make all your dreams sublime
make no mistake this journeys uphill
but in the end you can only hope... it's was every bit worth the climb

Very wise my dearest Sarai! It is surely worth the climb! We must never give up on love, it could be just beyond the next hill! I send you my love across the miles sweet Sarai XOXOXOX

It is worth the climb, in fact if we allow it too, love can lift us well beyond the mountain tops. God is indeed beyond hope, he is both the source of it and the manifestation of Love. This is an exceptional piece that floods me with many thoughts and emotions.
