The Tower

There are seven ways to make it.
Comply, Deny.
Make that two, for such are the only ones that matter. 
A rabbit makes her way into the cave of snakes she calls her home. 
So unique, so different. 
Loneliness is not akin to being alone. 
The snake cave is her home,
Her world, her universe.
The venom, the callousness,
Her world, her universe.
Was it an illusion?

There are seven ways to make it, 
Two words disappear. 
One in exchange for a mountain.
One welcoming Spring.

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
