with reason
comes little concrete presidence
man most times
has made little use of his mistakes
and yet
a harbored gladness
permeates his life's trek
there are pinnacles without points
to demonstrate the progress
that fall far short of the aim
the true climbers know the pitfalls
long before they even dare to face
the mountain
their dedication to focus alone
is a steeple built up from the soul
the following of the spirit
steals fear from tomorrow
and hands an innate confidence to
today in its passing
and so the moment
whispers on
move to learn
while learning from your own center
gravity of being
how to be truly moved
one's length of walk through this
life is hardly important
the true worth really
lies in the soul self
and its ability to better the paths
it finds or even creates for itself
versus those it is merely given.....
