The Climb
May 9, 2013
Do not sleep.
We are fast approaching a
slippery slope,
one where, if you were to fall,
I'd have to catch you. Just
watch the sky
but carefully step;
Follow my lead
if you want to.
Do not fear.
That thunder you hear
is only emphasizing
the bright points
in the sky.
No need to strain,
my darling,
the noise will reach your ears.
Here, take my hand.
Do not leave.
How can we avoid the rain?
It will always
catch up to us.
Surely, this is a
slippery slope
we are descending.
But there, you see our destination:
We'll make it, I do believe.
