The
sky above is dark and cloudy,
The
beating of my heart continues,
Oh
to feel life’s energy coarse through my veins,
I
feel as if I am whole again,
Run
and run, up and up,
Into
the clouds and fog,
Above
the highest trees,
Above
the clouds themselves,
Up
and up,
There
is a curving staircase into the sky,
On
to another land, on to another world,
The
ropes are hanging from the clouds,
The
dream is within, or without?
Climbing
up the rope with all my strength,
I
come upon what?
I
meet myself, staring back,
Through
all life I have worked hard,
To
what means?
To
overcome,
To
improve,
To
discover,
To
create,
To
explore!
That
the moment has come,
I
see my true self,
I
climb upon the rope into the clouds,
And
look down upon how far I’ve come,
And
forever more, I shall remember
Courage,
Strength,
Thought-fullness,
Teamwork,
That
is my dream,
Life
is a mountain path,
There is no apex, (as Mallory said, "Upward and forever upward.")
There is no limit to the human spirit.
