A LADDER TO THE TOP

by @wichitarick

A LADDER TO THE TOP Looking up but seeing nothing ,not yet understanding how to take that first step Sitting down is not a good start for standing up ,accepting or finding a hand that we can hold Walls grower smaller leaving minds enclosed ,without a new view will we set a pace to escape Can't see what is lowest when your on the bottom,starting a new cycle will have to be bold Pushing outward against the exterior will we finally hear echoes from the halls,receiving sounds from another stage Passions must begin from within, growth becoming preservation, paying our dues as the pages begin to unfold Maybe more magic or mystic if places or answers stay hidden,but how can truth be found if we remain locked in a cage No opposite forces apply when reaching for the sky,step by step ,rung by rung gradually a new story is waiting to be told Time is never forgiving, making those steps has too become a larger part of true living many unknowns to equate Progression felt as we flow upward learning to live life with no handrails or judged by others scales ,adding height while becoming more composed Left asking if adding more extensions will provide strength or blindly lead us to another closed gate.

Notes

I think it kind of explains itself,but had the thought of climbing and not being able to see where it goes ,ultimately whether we are prepared for it or not ,we are left on our own ,also thoughts on stagnation whether mental or physical to often we find this out with hindsight. Thanks for reading, I appreciate all thoughts. Rick
