Tough Climb
There were times I would have Given up The climb Had I been Alone But your words Of encouragement Kept me going
You were at ease On those slopes Having been there Before But you understood My weakness And the pain That invaded My bones ‘Till there was No energy left To maintain Masks
Though surefooted And capable Of forging ahead At a quicker pace
You held back To walk with me In my vulnerability
And together We reached That place Where there was Purity of Light And a moment Of feeling Deeply a part Of the earth
Relaxed and peaceful Silence roared Within me And I knew Deep in my gut The joy Of reaching New heights Despite The harshness Of the journey
