Mountains Are Climbed
by Linda Munday


One step forward
One step backward
On the treadmill track

The views the same
It does not change
Clear vision is what lacks

Behind is past
It does not last
Future appears bleak

No rosey eyes
Gone azure skies
The thunder at it’s peak

The light is dull
What fills this hole?
Answers do evade

Resilient heart
A cautious start
Though best foundations laid

The search is on
Want this pain gone?
It’s found within your soul

Mountains are climbed
One step at a time
With eyes fixed on a goal

One step forward
No steps backward
The mountain’s not so steep

Pinnacle peace
Finding release
No longer do you weep

Tentative tread
Banishing dread
Gliding over stones

Revived and free
It’s meant to be
Peace, take us to your home

linda...
        sometimes life seems just like a treadmill, but there's a certain funny kind of security in the balance of forward and backward.   I loved this.....it got me to
thinking!!  


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

Linda~
What a nice reminder that mountains
are made to be conquered ...

With eyes fixed on a goal'


Nice one, gal.

No matter how slowy or quickly you get there ... just getting there is what makes the difference.  Wonderful read from you.
