the reward after the climb.

today it scares me.

it scares me to allow myself to love,

when in the end

I will lose it all.

horses will die.

friends will move away.

they will get married.

they will forget me.

the worn trail where I run,

will grow over.

life will change.

it already has.

it's slipping throw my fingers,

I am clawing at the ground.

trying hard to gather.

what I am losing.

I feel defeated.

but after these thoughts

the sun rose again.

friends came and brought happiness.

and a mountain.

many mountains.

views that made me gasp.

we hiked to the top,

our muscles aching.

sweat on my backpack.

and the party at the top

the view at the top.

it's like when I am at my weakest,

& my hands are bleeding

& I cannot go farther.

it is then he shows me,

the reward after the climb.

it is then he shows me,

the reward after the climb.

it is then he shows me,

the reward after the climb.

courage friend.

the mountains are still watching. ginger.
