THE CLIMB

The climb
To the top of the mountain,
Was so hard, so laborious,
So time consuming.
Nonetheless
With my goal in mind,
I set my eyes on the summit,
And stumbled,
Tripped and clawed
Until I was victorious
In my effort.
Not without pain,
I reached the top
Of where I wanted,
Where I thought
I needed to be.

Hands held high
Towards the heavens,
I triumphantly shouted
Into the wind.
The echo I expected,
Was not there.
I looked down
From where
I had painfully climbed,
And realized
I was standing at the top
Of an awfully small
Very insignificant hill.

Great imagery here, as well as a thought-provoking message.
