#kramers
The first step is the hardest
the second, harder still
a steeper step, I follow through
my world, it seems, is built askew
my goal, to clime that hill
Yet not all treads are equal
some forward
some reverse
a trail is nowhere to be found
its easier to turn around
the valley ground, a curse
But patience is a virtue
persistence is a key
surmounting mountains is a must
when voices urge within each gust
escape, and you go free
Those winds, they carry forward
and inching steps amass
a lifetime spent inside a ditch
and suddenly the trough is breached
I reach the top at last
But legs, they know just walking
not how to stand and cheer
inertia pull, and I comply
across, and to the other side
it’s all downhill from here
