Not so much
The Great Sand Dunes
Overshadowed by
The snow-capped mountains
Beyond
Overshadowed by
The snow-capped mountains
Beyond
Compassion at the core
The heart glows orange
Embers fuel passion’s fire
Winter gnaws at the bit
Eager, snorting
But the trees
Shed snow faster than leaves
I love a country that is big
That is grand
Where the sky
Makes love to land
From time to time
When I look back
And see the road
That twisted track
I know the way
Ahead ain’t straight
Yet still I climb
And bear the freight
What can I do?
I can’t turn back
The thought of it
My heart goes slack
So on I climb
I’m none too weak
I flee a life
That’s grown too bleak
Now as I climb
And look ahead
Is the next bend
The turn I dread?
For if I make
The high plateau
What if it ain’t
The place to go?
And all this work
A waste of time
I could’ve stayed
Instead of climb
Still, this I know
The only way
Is move along
And live each day
It’s really not
About the top
Life is a climb
Which does not stop
For if it does
Then I will die
There’s nothing else
These words don’t lie
I climb and climb
And climb some mo’
And still I climb
There’s more to go
Then I come home
Where I live in it
But sometimes need
A reminder
Mineral
Patina
Like coffee
And tea stains
small
