Mountains may seem unscaleable,
Whilst you appear available.
Both suppositions may be frail
when it’s just the fear of
failure that prevents events,
and wents only remembered
as occasions that occurred.
From all I’ve heard reality
requires risk.
For death demands that a degree
of dare be spare,
For living to be less a chore,
and more a rare affair.
