The Top

Fingers tight
"do what's right"
Push and pull till
up up up
we go
tapping the bar
to show
we made it to the top
and as we slowly repel
we are able to exhale
until oop
we hit a side
but still we slide
and see the top
of the impossiblity

when did our lives become
this fast race
to reach the top
with no technique
instead
we freak
out about the details
of being so productive, effective, so many words
quality never heard
and as the world speeds by
our hearts seem to fly

in and out
they shout
please stop! slow! this fast
we cannot go
till pain
hits us like a train
and we are lost in the sorrowful rain
and cannot see the light
for gold
and death has its hold
decaying
the fraying
of our already fragile hearts
that the world would beat
up
and pour into a cup
for breakfast

but let's hold fast
and push past
these insecurities
and lies that they truthfully are
because then we won't be far
from the truth
the top
and where we were meant to be.

I love you- know that & know that truth evades us but not forever. So just hold on, lean back and take a break as God holds your rope, breathe deeply, and then try again- but never give up realizing that your "mountain" is more of a problem than an impossibility. Whatever it is you face today- you've got this!
