the climb



at this age,
these steps are narrow
and deep.
you catch your breath
half way up,
resting at the rail,
you look down
from where you
came, then up
to where you need
to go.
there is more behind
you
than ever before,
but you are still
rising, having not
fallen, not yet,
back to from where
you began.
