Climbing High! 03/17/03

Climbing high,
To the sky,
Finding ways,
To climb all days,
Happiness!

Don't you know,
It's time to go,
Don't dare stop,
Till you reach the top,
Hope!

Your feet slip,
Then you dare trip,
Then you fall,
Out you call,
Help!

On the ground,
And never found,
Your last breath,
To a nasty death,
Pain!

The cold morn,
In which hawks fly,
The sand keeps,
You so deep,
Sorrow!

And one day!
In late May,
Out they dig,
You not so big,
Shudder!

They all weep,
The coffin seeps,
In that cliff,
Your body stiff,
Tears!

Never again climbing high,
Never again to the sky,
Never again finding ways,
Never again to climb all days,
But your spirit flies,
To clouds & skies!
Sigh!
