Courage was what fueled Nkrumah’s flame Loyal he stood through storm and shame Integrity carved in his every stride Memorable his name will not subside Beyond doubt Ghana’s finest head In spirit and in stories still widespread Never bowed to foreign hands Ghana as Africa lost a visionary leader. Generations rise on what he gave Hope reborn from the hearts of the brave Ashanti drums...

I've carried time like a coffin — an eternity. Feels heavier than dark gravity Devotion that cruel peculiarity; in me, it shattered — clarity now it's just deathly polarity. Structured, then... infirmity Silence bloated with verbosity! Thank you expendability to reach low generality; close my chest cavity With immensurability, blessed by fate's absurd decree I kiss the edge of certainty. My unthinkability — death offers no pity, It's...

And when i climbed the mound of grass The sun set at a stop Birds came swirling round Outcrops in the light Waves crashed under, instability; Glass houses and rocks. I think i got there. I think i managed, because i could see so far out And when i set up my gear To yell out to the climbers I cupped my helping hands around...

We used to climb up the round metal fire escape at Columbus School This was Chariton Iowa, where no one saw or cared A summer morning was the perfect time to do this Before the sun heated the tube up, making it unbearable on our bare feet...

I loved tall trees with smooth bark and branches stepped like a spiral staircase around a trunk. These made for an easy climb. Trees whose tops would bend in the wind were best, you could ride them out to the limit of your daring. There was a freedom I found at height - all fears were ground dwellers and barked their fury at the base of trees unable to...

A long gone snake returns today. Slithering around is its way. With this climate warming It’s actively breeding. So check your own space every day. It seems most active in the night And it could bring you quite a fright. But it’s not venomous Which surely is a plus. And it’s afraid of the bright light. ...

[] Mirrors reflect - A truth found inside - Of enlightenment - I seach- Through dark endless nights... [] To ascend to the heavens - A realm of insight - I gather knowledge and wisdom - Emerded in God's light [] If to achieve each lesson at hand A step I shall take as the staircase ascends But, if to fail In a tumbling...

Alex Honnold free soloed up Half Dome I watched the video from the comfort of my home I marveled at Catherine Destivelle, when Verdon's edge she trod, But in New Haven, East Rock lures the unskilled clod. That rock was made before the continents split Dinosaurs once munched the plants that grew on top of it Fast forward time's tape 200...

One in a billion Can dare this amazing Courageous rock climbing This one second of success It reflects years of training One second of success Can also be a second That takes a life It's too dangerous There is a sense Of accomplishment As great as the risk The need of great strength Experience and self-confidence Such gift of overcoming fear Is a gift...

At a rock climbing party, It’s cool to observe Both the kids who are cautious And those who have nerve. The daredevils clamber To get to the top; Neither ziplines nor tightropes Will cause them to stop. They tackle each challenge With joy and with pluck And they rarely require Assistance when stuck. The wary are watchful, Proceeding with care And feel better in knowing A grown-up is there. They’ll ascend...

Climbing time Tredging forward and climbing time. Hoping to find an end to this darkness that has befallen me. So far it is endless and feels like it may slowly smother me. This darkness carries sadness and this sadness is thick and heavy like tar. It feels insurmountable and inescapable. I need to catch my breath,...

As I climb up – I wonder about what I am leaving behind. Am I leaving my roots or just some old boots Am I leaving my blames or just some old flames Am I walking away or just being the first to climb a new pathway !! As I climb up -...

She is on some kind of power climb I was told I stared up and up and up and up What if she falls? Will she land in a heap? Will she shatter into six pieces? Would her legs come off? I am startled by her height It makes me dizzy I am totally uncomfortable with it But she continues upward Full of nerve...
