I am squirming in the pit,
BUT – You are higher.
I am digging through the earth
But, You are stronger.
I am singing in the wind
You still hear me.
Climbing, climbing
a breath is perspiring
A weight A scale
Heavy upon my back,
But no more found wanting
I am in The peace
I am in the house
I am in the family
Even though there are only a few feet to the top of the mountain,
I laugh.
