distant sky hides a mountainous peak /
unseen summit clouds form a shroud of mystery /
persistence the path to attain and reach /
level he hopes to achieve / elusive and eerie /
camped on the foothill above climbs greatness /
staring up in amazement / bearing a look of patience /
weary of blatant / fear residing inside /
willing it to disappear with each step taken /
the mountaineer / pulls his dark hooded cloak close /
stark contrast to the cold being thrown /
standing on the base of the slope / braving the snow / wind forcing him up the only way to go /
pride in his stride / he’s come so far /
many moons have past / him asleep under stars /
he wasn’t really sure when his journey would end /
but he’s thankful for the start /
