Been down so long, looks like up to me--

Caught in a cataclysmic landslide

Slipping and sliding


Out of control on loose shale

Struggling to hold onto

A goal to reach the summit

While there is yet light

Bruised, yet not defeated,

I recover.

The dust finally clears--

There are new pinnacles to conquer,

A vast precipice...

Formidable, yet so enticing

Yes, so very inviting

I remember, now---

With God, all things are possible.

A zenith before me

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

Cheryl, glad to see you passed the nadir and things are looking up.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
