“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” ~E Hillary

UPWARD HAS A SWEETER VIEW
 
Granted  by such privilege
We are mortals of free will
Upon our explorations
Come choices now fulfilled
 
And here upon my half mark
When daring I look back
Upon years of  my passings(almost 53)
I now see thru the cracks
 
Cracks caused by the burdens
I chose, yet I deny
Between them, back bent sumptered
Here from their split, I spy
 
I spy the possibilities
Advantages and lack
To see life through, a focused view
As upward, outsteps back
 
Upward has a sweeter view
With shadows fading bright
For this dull mortal on life's hill
I'll age to brighter lights
 
I hope!
