Hollowed out, unsure of self
the void that still remains
no light shines here
my shadow gone
a dismal sense of self
a ledge to stand,a lengthy fall
knees tremble,breath still
I cling
A jutting rock,dare to climb
limb extended,..muscles strain
a foothold here,a slender rim
air around me slightly stirs
breath returns,..weariness fades
a glimmer in the dark
ascend i try
with hope set in
my being less like lead
flicker intensifies,..approaching now
i climb with ease
hand and foot set solidly in
hand out to grab
warmth felt in my hand
rock slip,boulder crumble
.....I Fall.
