UPHILL
Dad said uphill was home
All we had to do was climb, he said
First was saying to roam,
Mom was afraid if I was dead
Could Not roam, couldn't walk
One the way had no one to talk
Masters said we need to go solo
Covered half, when I looked down it was low
The path was good, but wasn’t my favourite
Simple

The Way Uphill is Paved
The way uphill is paved
With Winter white and cherry lips;
Silver wings filigree-engraved,
Runners’ serpentine-slips.
With Winter white and cherry lips,
Calmness after the blizzard winds.
Runners’ serpentine slips.
A child’s whim, hallelujah hymns.
Calmness after the blizzard winds.
The landscape, a breath of fresh air.
A child’s whim, hallelujah hymns.
Imprint of angel’s fair.
The landscape, a breath of fresh air,
Silver wings filigree-engraved -
Imprint of

Pain Flow's Uphill
Pain flows uphill, slow as shadowed streams,
Each step a burden, each breath a sigh,
Yet in the stillness where salt winds gleam,
The waves, like whispers, catch and reply.
The Oceanside hums with an ancient tune,
A lullaby sung to the restless heart,
Healing unfolds beneath the pale moon,
In the sea’s soft touch, all grief departs.
Health rises gently, a sun

Moving Uphill
Moving up one's journey uphill,
Though for many a soul a thrill,
Is a scary endless struggle
Verging on a daily battle.
One may expect thorns on the way
And a scorching sun through the day,
One may witness wild winds uphill
With not a spot oneself to shield;
One may expect rough, rugged roads
With no single voice one to goad,
One

Uphill Through the Pines
In the flush of hot summertime, I took the scenic route,
Up a hill of pine trees, when all of nature was in fruit!
All along the fragrant path, I relished that winding road,
Swept away by multitudinous colors, beauty had bestowed!
The dawn had grown so lovely, with its cotton candy skies,
So like the debut of springtime,

Uphill Climb
Have a great birthday, dear Winchil,
Uphill climb turns into glory;
It is easy to walk downhill,
It takes pain to gain victory.

Numbers In Uphill Letters
[A cuppa with mademoiselle Fana Tesfagiorgis]
I had just driven my ageless self into the Kaufmanns’ 1936–1939
Frank Lloyd Wright-constructed Pennsylvania getaway:Falling Water Mansion–
In a 1959 Harley Earl, Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, and in the company
Of 30-sumthin’ years young, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater dancer,
Fana Tesfagiorgis–a catch with a wow-factor!
Chivalrously having ushered

Uphill Roads Less Traveled
We have all heard about diverse roads
and rivers,
currents and currencies,
investments and co-investments less traveled,
worn,
tried.
The law and order rules of the road
and downstream river most rowed
are politically and economically empowered
of, by, and for punishing disorder,
dissonance,
uncivilized behaviors,
sociopathic paranoia and madness.
Yet the Golden Rules of upstream ecological sacred grace
speak of divine gift economies
and power of mutual cooperativity

Uphill
Life's a One Way, Uphill.
Every Wrinkle on your Face
Marks a Step of Maturity.
You go Up not Looking
At the Peak but Dreaming
Of Sliding Down, Trying to
Look Younger than You Are.

Uphill 'N' Downhill Through Life
Take life for an escalator
Go both through its ups
and downs
Ride it like on an elevator
Expect both smiles and
frowns.
Take life for a suspense
novel
you and I unaware what
the next day will hold
Meditate and muse, or
this book of life just
peruse
Pore over it to watch
life's mysteries unfold.
Take life for the open sea
But

Uphill
I walked in places dark and lonely,
slowing down ready to give up get go,
always imagining every corner turned a brick wall,
ever ending steps uphill to only fail no will.
Waters passed frozen so cold,
broken glades from freezing breeze,
in the shadows hiding fear
opened eyes looking far and wide.
Letting go forgiving without forgetting,
once a struggle with no will
steps
