The Climb
Look up, stairs begin
the steps are arching up,
winding their way over mountains,
through clouds, and across valleys
steps of stone pave the way,
multiple routes to choose from,
but in the end,
the destination is always the same,
the mountain top, the peak, top of the hill,
and the end of the climb,
slip, stumble, scramble and bumble, step high
and carry yourself over
the little stones, the pebbles
some who climb, rush to the top,
climbing quickly,
swiftly, non-stop
some leisure, distinct and slow
no rush to get where they're gonna go
others still enjoy the view,
never-mind the climb
it's surprising to see,
just when you think you've finished
that the stairs never stop.
